Hot Cocoa Teacher Appreciation Gift Funny Quotes About Teachers
We're celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this year and making it easy on parents and kids to honor their teachers, educators and school staff who have worked so hard to help our kids learn this year. We have a week's worth of celebration ideas to thank your favorite teachers and show your gratitude.
Welcome to a big list of ideas for National Teacher Appreciation Week!
What is Teachers Appreciation Week?
US Teacher Appreciation Week is the first full week of May. This year, Teacher Appreciation Week falls on May 2, 2022 – May 6, 2022. National Teacher Day is May 3 which was originated in 1953 by former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt.
It is a week meant to honor teachers for their hard work over the school year and how they truly love and care for all of our kids with small gifts. In my opinion, pampering our teachers five days out of the year isn't enough, but it's a start.

Teacher Appreciation Week Ideas
When asked what teachers want as a gift, my teacher friends usually say that great teachers want their kids to be safe, healthy, happy, read to, and for mom and dad to support the kids' learning at home. They also quickly follow those sentiments with "wine" as a favorite gift choice, haha!
Here are some ideas for your child's teacher that make a great gift…

2. Send a Delivery for Teacher Appreciation Week
Send teachers the special gift of Tiff's Treats or flowers. Have a yard card service set up a message in their yard or school yard (ask permission first), like "an awesome teacher lives here!"
3. Set up an Amazon Wish List for Teacher Appreciation
Room parents and class volunteers can ask the teacher to set up an Amazon wish list of some of their favorite things, school supplies or books they want to read and parents can purchase from there. Even some of the big name stores are getting in on the fun, like Target's teacher discount!
