Teachers play an essential role in shaping the minds of kids. They are often “second mothers” because kids spend a lot of time learning from their teachers. Apart from the curriculum, they learn life skills that help children navigate through life. If you have an influential teacher, you will most likely have kids filled with inspiration and enthusiasm. It takes a powerful and strong individual to influence your children to excel in academics, extracurricular activities, and personality development.

While being a teacher is a huge responsibility, the work cut out for them has become twice as hard, if not more, during these times. Teachers have to work harder to prepare materials that can be taught virtually with schools and colleges opting for online classes. It is not as easy as teaching students physically, but it is the need of the hour. Therefore, they deserve some love and appreciation. Let’s look at how you can show your teachers the gratitude, love, and support that they deserve virtually:

1. Send Them A Snap Of Your Kids

It might be hard for teachers to understand if every kid is engaged and involved with what they teach. So you could take a picture of your kid during their classes and share it with their teachers to show them that they are enjoying the experience.

2. Deliver Love

It might be a difficult time for physical appreciation, like hugs. But that does not stop you from getting something special delivered. What better way to show your gratitude to your teacher than to deliver her a bouquet of flowers? You could also add a personalized note thanking her for her efforts.

3. Say It With Food

If you’re not a flower person and do not wish to send your teachers a bouquet, you could also opt for a meal card. Free food is one of the best ways to show someone your appreciation. With a meal card, they are guaranteed their favorite food and a happy belly!

4. Gift Them Chill Time

Every teacher could use some time to unwind. You could probably send her a Netflix gift card so she can enjoy some screen-binge time. And with this one, she can lie down in her PJs and enjoy a cheese pizza instead of using a whiteboard.

5. Spell It Out

The greatest joys for a teacher is to hear what their students have to say about them. You could write a letter to your teacher appreciating her for all the efforts and hard work she puts in. Add a few elements of sparkles, sequence, and glitter to make her feel special, and she is going to treasure it.

6. Draw The Expression

If you are better at expressing your feelings with art, by all means, go crazy. Draw, paint or sketch something pretty for your teacher and mail it to her. She is not only going to appreciate it but will also probably frame it in her home.

7. Social Platform

There is no denying that social media provides instant gratification and makes you feel good. Use social media as a platform to appreciate your teacher. Create a message thread and pass it around to your schoolmates to add to it. You could send your teacher the link and be assured you will bring a smile to her face. If she is on social media, all you have to do is tag her.

8. Review With Honesty

Many schools and colleges have yearly reviews of their teachers. Students are asked to grade their teachers based on the school year to gauge their performance and expertise. You could praise your teacher for her efforts and perhaps even influence a promotion.

9. Check-In On Them

We’ve all heard that motherhood is a thankless job. The next thing to motherhood is teacher hood. It requires effort, patience, understanding, and care to be a good teacher, and they are often taken for granted. Therefore, sometimes, all you have to do is check up on them to see how they are doing. Most of the time that would suffice.

Teachers are a blessing in disguise. They shape you and make you ready to face the world. But they are not appreciated enough. So, we hope our list gave you ideas to show your support and love for your teachers. Comment below and let us know which one you’re waiting to do.
