It’s time to say THANK YOU to all the great teachers at home and in the classroom. This group of people is so deserving of praise, but often doesn’t get it. At least we get to honor them at this time of the year. Please remember that it doesn’t matter if you work in a daycare, homeschool, are a teacher in the classroom, a professor, a parent, or anyone else that works with kids, teacher appreciation is for YOU and you matter! If you teach kids, you’re important to them and their lives.
As I’ve done for Teacher Appreciation for the past years (although I did take a break for a couple years), I’m going to list some FREEbies that I’ve found (mostly on TpT). I encourage you to check them out as soon as possible, because many of them last for only a limited period of time. I also recommend that you check back to these stores daily, as they’ll add a FREEbie each day of Teacher Appreciation Week. Without making you have to wait any longer, here’s your Teacher Appreciation FREEbies for 2025….
