Thankful Thursday – Thank You, Teacher! Teacher appreciation ideas for year round. It doesn’t have to be teacher appreciation week to show your love and support. Low cost random acts of kindness and small teacher gift ideas including free printables!

Thankful Thursday

As a former teacher (and survivor of a Virtual Teacher Appreciation Week in Quarantine), I have always instilled showing thanks for teachers. Often this comes with me picking up a candy bar at the checkout line or grabbing an extra cup of coffee “thanks a latte” before dropping my kids off at school. These are just because occasions.

There are many ways to show Teachers Appreciation without waiting until teacher appreciation week. One way to is adopt a Thankful Thursday. This does not have to be every Thursday, just choose a Thursday one a month or twice a year in send in something small.

Alternatively, the homeroom parent can create a classroom SignUpGenius. Easily organize a weekly Thankful Thursday with classroom signups for schools and classrooms. Promote a spirit of gratitude by gifting something small every Thursday.

How to Write a Thank You Note To Your Teacher

With electronics taking over, hand written notes are a thing of the past. Because of that, a handwritten note is more meaningful than an email or text. To show your upmost appreciation, use a pen or pencil to write your thank you note to your teacher.

First, start with blank canvas and outline positive words or phrases that come to mind when you think about this teacher. These are words you will want to put inside your letter.

Second, begin your letter with a salutation. This should be like with a “Dear _____,”

In your paragraph(s), give a reason your teacher has helped you or describe what they have done for you. Provide an example. Express the positive impact these words or actions had on you. How did this change you? Don’t forget your thanks.

End with a Closing. Choose a “Sincerely”, “All the best”, “Warm wishes”, “Deepest thanks” and/or “thank you again!”

Teacher Appreciation Thank You Messages

Thank you notes can be brief. They can short little messages with quick line of thanks. Consider some of these Thankful Thursday Quotes for Teachers when adding messages to your appreciation notes.

Thank you for believing in me.

You showed me how capable I am of achieving great things.

I don’t think you realize it, but you were such a huge influence on me this year.

I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you’ve made.

You are, hands down, the best teacher I’ve ever had.

Teacher Appreciation Quotes

Sign off your letter with teacher appreciation quotes. Below are some inspirational quotes about teachers to share at the bottom of your message or on your gift tag. Sometimes no additional words are needed.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Brooks Adams

“When the teacher is ready, the student will disappear. When the student is truly ready… the teacher will disappear.” – Lao Tzu

“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.” – Andy Rooney

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

Moving Binder Printables & Moving Organization Tips

In the past two years my family and I have moved – TWICE. One was a cross country move (with movers), the second was moving four houses down (on the same street) while six months pregnant. I {almost} prefer the cross-country move! There was nothing pretty about me walking up and down the street with a huge belly and a load of boxes (yes, protective readers, I know carrying boxes when pregnant is a no-no and I am happy to report, we had a healthy baby boy this past October.) Regardless, I learned my lesson that hot summer, with the worse abdominal cramping. We settled in our new home, though, and with a young baby at home, I am ignoring the boxes in the corner that never got unpacked… because that just happens.

Home Staging Checklist Printable

Moving Binder Printables

When moving, I discovered the key to having sanity while moving is being organized. Because of my own need, I created a Moving Binder Printable, just for you! Enjoy it and personalize it for your home!

Inside the Moving Moving Binder Organizer

I ordered a 1 inch white 3-ring notebook. I love the ones that have the clear slip outside. This was my bible for moving (lowercase b – wink). For this printable you can get a 1 inch, 1.5 inch or 2 inch binder as I included a spine for all three sizes (then again, go as large as you want and just use a smaller spine printable!

This printable Moving Binder includes 26 pages of content to keep you organized. Many sections have multiple pages.

1.) Cover Page and Spine Title

We made this cover page bright so it is easy to find in the clutter. I recommend, however, always keeping it in the same place in your home so it isn’t lost. Typically the kitchen counter is best.

2.) Important Dates Calendar

Print out as many as you need. We have left the dates open so you can personalize the number and months to your schedule. Add the moving date, moving truck arrival date, home closing date, bill due dates, etc.

3.) To Buy Chart

Organize your purchases with a list of where you bought the item, the budgeted amount and how much you spent. This can be more purchases bigger and smaller! Add these 3-ring binder envelope organizers to store receipts in case returns or claims are needed.

4.) Essential Basket Checklist

When you move you need a basket that has all your supplies. This includes a box cutter, sticky notes, packing tape, scissors, permanent markers, tool kit, etc. I provide a checklist and keep some areas blank for you to add your own content.

5.) Car Inventory Checklist

You also want to include some items in the car – things that do not get stuck on the moving truck. Get cleaning and laundry supplies, pet food, perishable groceries, 7 days of clothing, etc.

6.) Box Inventory

Label each box with a number, the room where it is going and what is inside (this part is optional, but for some boxes you will really care!) If you are moving your entire house, you will need many pages of this document.

7.) Moving Budget Checklist

This checklist includes the cost of moving supplies as well as opening and closing utilities accounts.

8.) Change of Address Checklist

You will appreciate this resource. We list all the places you want to notify for changing and updating your address.

9.) Utility Service Information

This includes the name of the company, account numbers, cost, etc. This would be a good resource/page to print multiples. It also allows you and your spouse to communicate on one page without the question – did you do this? Or what’s that password agian?

10.) Move-in Cleaning Checklist

If time permits, even if just a day, we provided a checklist to clean your new home BEFORE you move in. Trust me, you will thank me later. This also provides a deep clean before furniture and boxes get in the way. Use it for your old home and your new home.

11.) Donation Tracker

For taxes, keep track of all your donations and the value.

12.) Thank You Notes

Thank those that help you move!

13.) Color Codes Box Labels

We have created a color coded label for each area of the home. We left some blank for your personalized use. We also included labels for fragile boxes! The white circles provided allow you to number the boxes. For example Master Bedroom 1, Master Bedroom 2, Master Bedroom 3…

For all of these sections, you can print as much as you need! If you have a really large donation list, print two or more pages of the donation tracker.

Essential Moving Basket

I told you above I included a essential moving basket checklist. Have a small basket in which you keep sharpie markers (for marking on boxes), packing tape, scotch tape, a box cutter, tool kit, paper towels, scissors, something to write with and your moving binder. This will be your best friend when packing boxes and unpacking boxes. Do not forget this basket!

That’s why I came up with a list of DIY Teacher Gifts you can give year-round. It makes a wonderful surprise when your child takes a handmade teacher appreciation gift to school when it isn’t a holiday!

Less is the new more!

Daily Declutter Challenge

Girl, I got your back. As a mother of five, I have learned to swim in the chaos of motherhood. By swim, I mean tread water. (At least, I am not drowning, right?!) Speaking of drowning, some things I find I am drowning in is clutter. Boxes, stacked piles of mail, broken and mis-matched toys, single socks (right?!), clothes that are too small, clothes that are dirty – it’s piles and piles of “stuff!”

I accepted the KonMari Challenge with Dollar Store Solutions, but the clutter seemed to return. That is why I have to pull out a Monthly Declutter Challenge a few times a year. This spreads out my to-do list, gives me direction for cleaning up our home, and makes the task fun!

Declutter Tips, Tricks & Solutions

Initially, this Declutter Your Home Checklist seems very daunting. We have some declutter tips and hacks for your challenge to keep your sanity.

Where can I sell my stuff?

Want to make a few dollars? We have a few places you can sell your stuff when declutting. Two places are my favorite. First, Facebook Marketplace is great in my area and typically I make back close to the price I paid on many name brand items. I also like to send my kids clothes to Thread Up (get $10 credit and/or request a ThredUp Clean Out Kit bag.) This allows me to earn money on clothes that no longer fit and buy new consignment clothes that do fit. Lastly, take a look at Decluttr to buy and sell technology.

What if I skip a day on the Challenge?

Things come up, I get it. If you can avoid skipping a day, please do. It can be hard to catch up having to do 4 days of cleaning on Day 31. If you do find you missed a day, move on and come back to that day at the end of the challenge.

What if the 31-Day Challenge is not enough?

Repeat the process the next month. In fact, if you are a real neat freak you can do this challenge every month, for 12 months. Just do a little bit each day!

How often do you do this Declutter Challenge?

I try to adopt the challenge twice a year. Typically January after the chaos of Christmas and then again in late spring/early summer as the end of the school year approaches. If I am doing extra well (or would it be extra bad?), I take on this challenge again at the start of the school year.

I work full time, how can I declutter my house quickly?

Honestly, this is a process. There is no way to tackle all of this in one day, but you can group days or take the challenge on a few weekend. If you are doing it day by day, some of these days require more time than others. For example, I can clean my junk drawer in a few minutes but my Kitchen Cupboards might take a few hours on Saturday. Skip more challenging days and save them for the weekend. Use the weekdays to tackle smaller tasks.

Thanks to you, I’m no fool! Adorable April Fools Day Teacher Printable for the classroom! Pair with popcorn, apples, cookies, or Smarties!

April Fool’s Teacher Gift Idea & Printable Gift Tags Tags

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

Thanks to you, I’m no fool! Happy April Fool’s Day!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Gift Tag + Digital DownloadsDo you remember the teacher that really impacted your life? I had a lot of great teachers growing up. Perhaps that is why I went into education, myself, in college. One of the teachers that really made a difference was Mrs. Cassels. She taught me Art History and even took me to Europe for a month were we toured museums, cathedrals, ancient ruins and more. Years later, I moved to Washington, D.C. and was able to wow my kids through the Smithsonian Art Museum where I shared my love of painting and sculptures with my kids – they were quite impressed with my knowledge and I was honestly impressed with all I had not forgotten!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

On a regular basis, I try to show my kids’ teachers love. Usually it is through singing up for a thankful Thursday and sending in a candy bar or coffee. Other times it is during a holiday season and attaching a cute printable to a small gift. That was our intention with this freebie. Print your free No Fool gift tag and pair with caramel popcorn, cookies, an apple, or whatever you desire! Maybe a coffee will go far too – who doesn’t love caffeine?

I’m No Fool Supplies:

These are the supplies we used for our gifts, you can of course adapt to your own needs!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Gift Tag + Digital DownloadsYou will also need material to print your gift tag. Use white card stock or send online to Staples to pick up. (see below.)

I’m No Fool Directions:

Have fun with this free teacher printable gift tag. Your directions will differ from ours based on how you use the printable, but this is how we created our gifts.

We baked cookies according to package directions. Once they cooled we added them to clear cellophane bags and tied them off with red and white twine. We cut our gift tags out and whole punched them on the right side. We tied the bag to the twine with a bow.

We had some mason jars and added some tasty caramel popcorn to the inside. You can make your own or pick up a store bought brand – have you tried POPT! Caramel Buttery Popcorn? Once your mason jar is full, screw on the lid and tie on a red polka dot bow. Add your gift tag before gifting.

Another great idea is a classic apple – an apple a day keeps the doctor away! If you feel like an apple is too cliche, step it up by gifting a caramel or candy apple! Wrap in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a red and white polka dot bow. Don’t forget to add your no fool April Fool’s Day gift tag!

We have two versions of tags. One that says Happy Fool’s Day and one that does not.

“April Fools!”

Ahhh, that phrase is all too familiar! I love to love and I love to share jokes with my kids. My humor is always is fun and never meant to hurt or be at the expense of others.

April Fools’ Day is an annual celebration that takes place on April 1. Filled with playing practical jokes and shouting April fools at the unfortunate victims. This isn’t a new tradition. In fact, the first April Fools took pace in the 1500s when the C Gregorian calendar took over from the Julian calendar and the first day of the year moved from late March/early April to January 1st.

Ready for a thoughtful punny gift? We are back with this adorable Stuck with You Teacher Appreciation Printable. Pair with Scotch Expressions Ruler Design Masking Tape and gift for a teacher.

Stuck With You Teacher Gift Tag Pritnable Set

Stuck with You Teacher Appreciation Printable

While in the store the other day, we came across the cutest ruler design masking tape from Scotch Expressions. Though I had no reason for celebration, I had to pick it up for my girls’ teachers. I also wanted to pair a gift tag with some pun – I am glad I am stuck with you! As you know from my previous posts, I am a former teacher and always looking to show my kid’s teachers affirmations and thanks.

Always find a reason – Thankful Thursday

We made this as a Thankful Thursday gift. Just a creative way to show a teacher how much she is appreciation for no reason. It would also be cute as a Punny Teacher Gift Idea.

If you don’t have this masking tape, think of another item to pair with the gift tag. Glue, clear tape, candy, whatever is sticky and fun!

Stuck with You Supplies:

Your supplies are really optional, but these are the things we used for this Teacher Appreciation Gift.

You will also need a resource to print this. We suggest sending the order to Staples and printing on card stock. More on that below.

Stuck with You Directions:

Some of these directions are based up my own resources. Your directions will vary based on the supplies you use to make your teacher gift.

Take your Stuck with You printable. Cut out the gift tag and punch or cut a hole in the top of the tag.

Cut about four inches of curling ribbon.

Next, string your ribbon through the Scotch brand tape and the gift tag. Tie a knot and curl with scissors.

Cut off some tulle. We used about three inches. Tie around the curling ribbon and make a cute accent to your bow.

Finally, have your child sign their name and gift to a teacher.

Enjoy.

We need S’more Teachers Like You! Save this S’more Teacher Gift Tag Template for your child’s school year. It’s a thoughtful mason jar gift idea and a tasty snack mix recipe for your child’s teacher.

S’more Teachers Like You Gift Tag Printable

S’more Teacher Gift Tag Template

Hey mama! You ready for the school bell? Whether you are welcoming the first day of school or not, chances are you child’s teacher is ready.

As a former teacher, I know teachers spend the entire summer getting ready for the next school year. While you are not in parent exhausted mode from forms and shopping first day of school supplies, be sure to save these Teacher Appreciation Printables and Punny Teacher Gifts (with Printables.) You don’t need to recognize your appreciation only on Teacher Appreciation Week. If you prepare ahead, they will be easy to “gift” throughout the year. I actually have kept a small basket in the foyer of our home and on occasion have sent my kids into school with a thoughtful gift idea just to say, “hey, thanks for teaching my child!” It also speaks volumes to your own child about the respect you have for their educator.

In preparation for back to school, be sure to also save this S’more Teacher Gift Tag Template. You can use the extra snack mix for an after school snack!

S’more Teacher Gift Tag Template Snack Mix Ingredients*:

2 cups graham cracker cereal (Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
2 cups marshmallows
1 cup candy coated chocolate candy
1 cup mini chocolate chips
4 pint-size jars with lids
Decorative paper
Ribbon
Printable S’more Teacher Gift Tag Template (see below)

*Ingredients make 4 gift jars.

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.
