Staff Appreciation Week
Schools may be closed but teachers and staff are still hard at work. We may not be able to celebrate them in person but we can still make sure they feel appreciated!!! We will be celebrating Teacher/ Certificated Staff Appreciation Week  May 4- May 8th. We have a week full of virtual ideas you can use to show your teachers how much you miss them and how much they mean to you. Keep in mind, all of these ideas are just suggestions. If you have any gifts/ideas of your own to show your appreciation please be sure to contact your teacher (through whatever means they have provided you with) to coordinate delivery.

Monday - You're A Poet and Didn't Know It Monday- Write your teacher a poem (a simple rhyme, Acrostic, Haiku, Cinquain) to tell them how great you think they are.

Tuesday-Talent Show Tuesday- Are you a great artist, singer, magician, actor, rubik's cube solver, LEGO engineer, 3 point shooter, lip syncer?Take your talent and turn it into a beautiful picture, skit, LEGO sculpture, music video, etc and record it or snap a picture of you in action and send it to your teacher to put a smile on their face. 

Wednesday-Whacky Wednesday- Knock,Knock.Who's There? You are, and you're going to email your teacher a funny joke you think they'd like.

Thursday- Thoughtful Thursday- Take a moment to think about your teacher and answer some of the following questions. Then either record a video of you answering the questions or write the answers down and email to your teachers. Possible Questions: 

• How do you know when your teacher is happy?
• How do you know when your teacher is angry? 
• If your teacher wasn't a teacher what do they think he/she would be?
• If they made a movie about your teacher who would play him/her?
• What super hero or cartoon character would most likely hang out with your teacher?
• If your teacher could have three wishes what do they think he/she would wish for?
  

Friday-Favorite Things Friday- Record a video message/write an email to your teacher telling them some of your favorite things about being in their class and having them as a teacher. 

Have fun with these ideas! Your teachers will be so happy and will definitely feel appreciated!

THANKS,
