Need a teacher favorite things form to give to your child’s teachers this year. This super cute printable teacher favorite things list is a great way to get to know teachers to give them the best gifts!
I don’t think I can shout this from the rooftops enough: Teachers are the superheroes of this generation! Educators have to deal with constantly shifting classroom environments, juggle about 50 different plates on any given day, and deal with so many crazy things.
With everything they have to go through and still show up with their “A” games, teachers deserve our admiration, respect, and appreciation. After all, almost everyone you ask can probably tell you about their favorite teacher in elementary or high school, and that’s because thousands of educators make it their job to love and nurture our kiddos every day.
So, how can you show your thanks for everything teachers do for our kids? Well, the first step is finding out more about your child’s teacher and what they like. That’s why I’ve created this FREE printable teacher favorites questionnaire! Just have the teacher fill it out, and you’ll have loads of ideas for small gifts you can send to them throughout the school year.
What is a Teacher Favorite Things Questionnaire?
If you’ve never used one before, a teacher favorite things form can be a very useful way to get to know your child’s teacher (or teachers!). It also lets teachers know that you’re actually interested in who they are as a person, which helps you build a relationship with them from the beginning of the school year.
This teacher favorite things list isn’t designed to break the bank, either. I genuinely believe it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference, so the teacher gift ideas you get from this questionnaire should be small (think $5-10). That way, you can realistically afford to send small tokens of your appreciation throughout the school year!
Who Can You Give the Teacher Favorite Things Form To?
Use this free printable teacher favorites questionnaire for any of the following:
- Teachers
- Teachers Assistants
