Teacher Appreciation Day is the Tuesday in the first full week of May (which is Teacher Appreciation Week).

Gift Cards

So giving a teacher a gift card to show appreciation is a great idea. It’s like giving them money without giving them cash.

Why Mugs Are Not Practical as a Gift for Teachers

So while a mug may seem like an excellent idea, it’s easy for a teacher to get too many. For example, if only half of the students or parents of one class choose a mug, that’s still 12.

An easy way to thank a teacher is with a thank-you note. And teachers like to hear they are making a difference to a child’s life.
