Thanking Your Student Teacher
You’ve made it to the end of your student teacher’s placement.
Both you and your student teacher have learned so much and you might not want to let him/her go!
But it is time to say goodbye.
Before you say goodbye, it is suggested that you find a way to say thank you.
Remember, your student teacher put in a lot of time and effort during their placement with you.
Ideas for Thanking Your Student Teacher
Give your student teacher a gift from you and your students.
Your students can create cards, a book, etc for the student teacher. You can give him/her a personalized gift or you can just give him/her a basket of school supplies.
Gift Basket Ideas:
- markers
- post-its
- pens
- pencils
- glue sticks
- paper clips
- stickers
- any other school supply you love
Whatever you choose, make it special for your student teacher. Your student teacher worked so hard and is now ready for his/her own classroom.
The gift basket is a great way to start their own classroom.
