感謝老師的創意方式
Show appreciation to the teachers in your life 教师节勇创意来向老师表达感谢吧
by Chelsea Ewald

They spend innumerable hours planning lessons, grading papers, and encouraging and challenging students. Don’t let your teacher’s work go unnoticed. Say “thank you” in a creative way!

Create a book
Present your teacher with a one-of-a-kind book made especially for him or her. Each student in the class can create a page showing his or her thanks. On that page, they can draw a picture, write a poem, or express gratitude through a letter. Finally, have all of the pages bound inexpensively at a copy shop.


Surprise with a personalized basket
Everyone enjoys a surprise and teachers are no exception! Surprise a teacher in your life by putting together a basket of all of his or her favorite things. If your teacher loves to read, include books and magazines. If it's sports that catch your teacher's eye, include tickets to a sporting event in your teacher's basket with other sports -oriented gifts. Or, fill the basket with necessary classroom supplies like pens and paper clips.

Plan an event
Organize a fun, after-school event in honor of your teachers. Invite them to join students, parents, and administrators for a time of games and refreshments together. However you decide to say thanks, it will make your teacher's day.
