If you have spent just about any amount of time in your child’s classroom, you know that it’s kind of a chaotic zoo with one brave person trying to not only corral the wildlife but also teach them things like state capitals and fractions.
Whether your school is doing an official Teacher Appreciation Day or week in May, or you want to do something nice for the last day of school, I’ve found a handful of sweet and thoughtful ideas. My favorites are printables that go with a gift card or something useful.
