We spend roughly eight hours of every weekday of nearly the first two decades of our life in school, and your teachers are the ones who dictate your entire learning experience. With a good instructor, your class and relationship can be life-changing, thanks to their support and understanding.
Today, May 6, we celebrate these influential figures in our lives. If you have a teacher, instructor, professor or tutor you want to honor, continue reading to discover five ways you can uplift them on National Teachers' Day.
Provide a Small but Thoughtful Present
Your teacher doesn't have to be as kind and empowering as they are, but they choose to be. To go the extra mile on Teachers' Day, you can thank them for their courageousness with a small gift. For example, you can buy them a gift card to that one store they always rave about. Or, if they always have a mug on their desk, you might want to give them another to add to their expansive collection. Either way, it'll show that you notice and appreciate them, which will certainly make their day.

Pay for Their Lunch
We all know school lunch food isn't the most delicious, but like you, your teacher has to spend five days per week eating from the cafeteria if they don't bring their own lunch. You can ensure they have a hearty meal by paying for their next meal. Feel free to ask them what their favorite restaurant is, so you can buy them a gift card. Or, you could ask them if they would be open to receiving a homemade plate.

Gift a Handwritten Note
Maybe you don't have the disposable funds to buy your teacher something. A handwritten note expressing your gratitude can still go a long way. After all, it's not every day that students are raving about how inspiring they have been. But a gentle nudge can remind them that they're doing great.
Nominate Them for an Award
After a quick Google search, you will realize there are many awards for teachers to win. It can be within the school district or even a nationwide search to find the greatest educate. Usually, these honors are received through nominations from students, parents and colleagues. If you and your peers have a teacher you really love, rally together to help ensure they receive that validating Teacher of the Year achievement.

Offer Them the Day Off
This idea probably won't apply to you if you are a student at public school. However, if you are homeschooled or are receiving extra instruction during after hours, you can give your teacher a well-deserved day off. Just make sure you its a paid vacation day, so it doesn't feel like they're losing out.
