In just a month we’ll be closing the door on my son’s first school year. He’s only been attending for about a month now, but his teacher has made an impact on him and our family. He can’t wait to head off to school as soon as he wakes each morning and is quite disappointed Friday morning when he wakes up and discovers there’s no school. I’ve worn the teacher shoes and I’m so excited this year I get to be on the giving end and appreciate his teacher. Teacher Appreciation day is May 6th, but you can celebrate all week with these great gift ideas.

Even better, personalize the gift with their favorite things. I stole this idea from my husband’s PTO and made a fun printable to hand out to all his teachers. Checkout the list below the questionnaire for more fun sayings to pair with your gift. It doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant. A little thought makes a teacher feel appreciated. My hubs has been gifted all week with his favorite candy bar. Personalized, inexpensive, and so thoughtful.
