Teacher Appreciation Week is here! This year more than ever, all of us parents truly appreciate the work teachers do. Since many of us will not be able to offer gifts this year to our teachers, we thought it would be nice to find some sweet thank you messages for your teacher. We’ve also got some great ideas for how to share these messages with teachers from a distance!
How to Send a Thank You Message to Teachers From a Distance
Make a DIY Collage E-Card
I can bet that your kiddo’s teacher is deeply missing being able to see those adorable little faces every day. Show your appreciation for them by gathering up photos of the whole class and making an E-Card with a collage. You can easily do this on Canva, in fact, we even pre-made a template for you. Check it out!
Step 1: Send an email out to all of the parents in your child’s class asking to collect photos and explain what you’ve got up your sleeve.
Step 2: Open our template! There are 3 collage layout options to choose from depending on class size.
Step 3: Upload photos of each member of the class and insert them into the design.
Bonus: You can change the quote at the bottom to say anything you’d like! We chose one of the quotes from our list below.
Step 4: Download the design and email it to the teacher!
Email Them a Giftcard
While some of us might be able to drop off gifts to the teacher’s front porch, others of us may have no idea where they live. It really depends on the community you’re in. However, you can still send them a little something to show your appreciation via email! There are plenty of different shops and restaurants that offer e-gift cards, here are some of our favorite options for teachers. Choose one of these, add on one of our sweet thank you messages for teachers, and send it their way!
Starbucks
Doordash
Netflix
Coldstone
Take a Picture of Hand-Made Art
Write one of the thank you messages for teachers from below out on a blank sheet of paper (or have your little one do it if they can!). Then, have your child paint or color around the message. Snap a picture of the artwork and email it to their teacher to show you’re thinking of them this week!
