Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is this week from May 2 through May 6th during 2011. Why not show the teachers that you work with some appreciation. Here are some fun ideas:
- Teach a Class – offer to lead the class in sensory motor activities to wake up the brain for learning
- Relaxation Exercises – lead a class in relaxation exercise or stress relievers during a break between classes or tests
- Thank You Note – do you work with a teacher who always carries out your therapy suggestions? Write them a thank you note.
- Fidget Basket – make some homemade fidgets to give to the teacher for the classroom
- Indoor Recess Packet – give the teacher a folder filled with simple physical activity ideas for indoor recess. Kids will get their energy out and the teacher does not have to prepare (Check out Imagination Action Journeys)
- Bake some treats with students to give to the teachers
- Plan a breakfast for the teachers – The students will get great practice of functional skills when planning, organizing and cooking a meal.
Encourage movement with 10 imagination journeys to read and perform.
Great for indoor recess or mini movement breaks during the school day.
