Lately I’ve been sleuthing around the interwebs for great printable teacher appreciation notes for kids. After all, Teacher Appreciation Week starts today! And ever since my son started preschool, I’ve been been struck anew by how much educators do to shape our children and our world.
And not just because they give me a few hours of precious free time — although that in itself makes me want to erect gold-plated statues in their honor.
I know teachers already get a lot of mugs and flowers, so this year I wanted to focus on giving words of appreciation…to the lovely men and women teaching my son his words.

What better way to show that your kid’s been paying attention in class than to fill out this free printable fill-in-the blank teacher appreciation card at Tumbleweed Press Co.? I’m sure the answers will make teachers laugh, and they’ll be touched by the sweet artwork too.
When offering words of appreciation, I always say the more specific, the better. So instead of just telling them that they’re a “good” teacher, have them fill out this fun facts teacher appreciation printable from The Girl Creative. It’s similar to the one above, but is geared toward slightly older kids. It’s a great way to show your teacher exactly what your child loves about them.
This things I learned teacher appreciation card at Skip to My Lou keeps it simple, but I still think it’s such a meaningful card. Have kids fill in what their teacher taught them, whether it’s long division or how to apologize when they’re wrong.
