Inside : Show a teacher how they have impacted or improved your life with these heartfelt poems, including acrostic poems on teachers and longer pieces about how incredible they are.
Teachers truly make us who we are, whether we know it or not. We learn more than curriculum from teachers, we learn valuable life lessons that we carry with us throughout our lives.
If you’ve ever had a teacher who made an indelible impact on you, you understand.
Even years later, we wish we could reach out and thank those teachers for the lessons they taught us either directly or inadvertently. For young children, parents are typically the ones who provide teachers with thanks.
Gifting a poem to your child’s teacher is a great way to let the teacher know how appreciated they are. Moreover, creating an acrostic poem for teacher is a fun and interactive bonding experience for you and your child!

Really no one like you!

Confident, and thank you for all of your
Help with
Each and every lesson. I will always
Remember the things that you taught me.

11. Where I’m From While the ones who lead the classroom are inspirational, sometimes the adults glean tons of awe and inspiration from the students. The children themselves are the subject of this piece, which is a tribute to the reason that educators do what they do, for the love of the inspiring, magical minds of little kids.

To dream and to work and to reach.
With your kindness you get my attention;
Every day you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.
You help me fulfill my potential;
I’m thankful for all that you’ve done.
I admire you each day, and I just want to say,
As a teacher, you’re number one!” —Joanna Fuchs

before I can see it myself.

I have a future
because of you.” —Joanna Fuchs

Thank you, teacher,
for being my life’s role model.
When I consider all you’ve taught me
and reflect on the kind of person you are,
I want to be like you—
smart, interesting and engaging,
positive, confident, yet unpretentious.
I want to be like you—
well-informed and easy to understand,
thinking with your heart as well as your head,
gently nudging us to do our best,
with sensitivity and insight.
I want to be like you—
giving your time, energy and talent
to ensure the brightest possible future
for each of us.
Thank you, teacher
For giving me a goal to shoot for:
I want to be like you!” —Joanna Fuchs
