Teacher Appreciation Week

What is included

This is project for Teacher Appreciation Week. However, you could use this at any time of the year. Especially, if you are working on letter writing or descriptive writing. Included are 2 brainstorming sheets, 8 different styles of paper for the letter, and an envelope formatting guidance sheet.

Students will brainstorm a list of teachers that they appreciate and write letters to them. Students will then deliver their letters to these teachers on Teacher Appreciation Week. If they are not in the same building anymore, this would be a great opportunity to mail a letter. You can choose to have your students do this via Google and have them type their letters or just print out using the PDF version and hand deliver the letters. We will be putting ours in envelopes and decorating for some extra creativity time!

GOOGLE VERSION IS INCLUDED IN THE PDF. THERE IS A LINK TO THE GOOGLE SLIDE DECK!

Google Tips

Keep in mind, there are two versions of this project. A printable pdf version & a Google slides version. Here are some important reminders about the google version:

*Be sure you are signed into your school google account. Your resource will then be housed in your google drive.

*An easy option to get this to your students is to post this to Google Classroom. Then, use the “make a copy for each student” feature. Students can have their own version on their device and fill out each text box that I have created already.

*Students can COPY & PASTE slides if they need MORE brainstorming sheets or letter sheets. They also can delete slides if they don’t want to use certain ones.

*Students will then turn in and you can print out each letter. Or if students have access to a printer, then they can print.

*Best used for 1:1 classrooms

Distance Learning Tips

I know it isn’t an easy task to get resources out to students. There are a couple ways to do this.

#1 If you are able to send packets home, print off the pages for student use. Students could then mail their letter on their own and use the envelope formatting for guidance. You could even provide envelopes for the students!

#2 Post to Google Classroom or Seesaw and have students complete their letters. Students could take a screenshot and email it to the appropriate teacher. OR you as the teacher could take a screenshot or download the pdf and email it to the appropriate teacher.

#3 Simply provide this an OPTION for students to do. You could have email the resource to parents and they could print at home if they have a printer.

#4 Your own creative idea!
