Feel free to post a selfie on social media, too! Use the hashtag #RedForED, so all your friends and followers can see that you’re supporting your teacher.
A pop-up card is a fun, creative way to show your appreciation. Get your fellow classmates to sign the card as an extra-special touch. If you don’t have a lot of spare time to make your own card, you could send an e-card before class.
You might say, “I just wanted to thank Ms. McMullen for being so kind, helpful, and understanding. She’s one of the best science teachers ever!” You could also say, “Mr. Stanford is such a great teacher. I always look forward to his class, and I love how passionate he is about history. Thank you for all you do, Mr. Stanford!”
You might include words like smart, helpful, inspiring, kind, and thoughtful. Customize your word cloud into fun, unique shapes, like a heart, star, talk bubble, or your teacher’s favorite animal.
You could collect money from your fellow classmates and get your teacher a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant.
If you’re making your own mask, shop for fabrics with fun, school-themed patterns, like pencils, apples, or books.
You can find and print out certificate templates online.
“Thanks for all you do!” “You’re the best teacher ever!” and “I love Mrs. Sloan’s class!” are just a few things you could write. You could decorate your poster with drawings of your peers and your teacher, along with photos from class trips.
You could hang up a banner that says “Happy Teacher’s Day!” or “We love Mr. Johnson’s class!” You could tape colored paper all over the door to give it a cool new color, and jazz it up with sequins, streamers, stickers, and other fun decorations.
For example, you might clean the whiteboard on Monday, wipe down everyone’s desks on Tuesday, organize the classroom school supplies on Wednesday, water any classroom plants on Thursday, and sweep the floor on Friday.
You might make a skit about a school day without your teacher, or explore a day in the life of a teacher.
You could offer to work the car wash in shifts. This way, you and your peers won’t miss too much class time, but will still get a chance to help out.
You might raise your hand more often in class, or help put school supplies away after a class project.
