Teachers deserve so much credit for everything that they do and even more so now. They helped our kids navigate through a very interesting year with mask, social distancing, zooms, and quarantines. At the end of every school year, we give our teachers a gift because we are so grateful for all that they poured into our kids all year long.

We have put together several gift ideas over the years and plan to share a few with you here. These can also be used for the first day of school or Teacher Appreciation Week.

It’s here, the last day of the school year! We did it! This year wasn’t the norm with the current pandemic and kids in and out of quarantine. Like most, we are glad to see it come to an end. We are looking forward to a fun filled summer with the boys. Here is a list of some of our favorite end of school year traditions along with FREE printables that you can use for your obligatory last day photo too.

PSA: Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up next week. This is the perfect time to tell them just how grateful you are for everything that they do for your kids. This school year has been unlike the rest with the pandemic still going on and multiple quarantines. Most teachers had to experience switching to virtual learning over-night then adjust back to in person learning more than once. During the early spring, my son’s teacher had half the class in person and the other half virtual while teaching both at the same time. Now that is Rockstar status!

We all know that Target and Starbucks tops the list of favorite places of anyone that well….breathes air. Right? I can’t tell you how many times Target has saved me during the pandemic with the drive up option. So I couldn’t think of a better gift card option for our teachers. Download these FREE printables to print and use as many times as you need.
