Looking for a Teacher Appreciation Week idea? This sonnet is a teacher poem for older students and adults to give to their teachers or professors. Put this on a classy looking card. It's a teacher appreciation poem certain to make an impact.
Sonnet For An Unforgettable Teacher
(Teacher's name),
When I began your class I think I knew
The kind of challenges you'd make me face.
You gave me motivation to pursue
The best, and to reject the commonplace.
Your thinking really opened up my mind.
With wisdom, style and grace, you made me see,
That what I'd choose to seek, I'd surely find;
You shook me out of my complacency.
I thank you now for everything you've done;
What you have taught me I will not outgrow.
Your kind attention touched my mind and heart;
In many ways that you will never know.
I will remember you my whole life through;
I wish that all my teachers were like you.

This free verse teacher poem is perfect for National Teacher Appreciation Day. Use it in a card or with a gift.
The Best Teachers
Teachers open up young minds,
showing them the wonders of the intellect
and the miracle
of being able to think for themselves.
A teacher exercises
the mental muscles of students,
stretching and strengthening,
so they can make challenging decisions,
find their way in the world,
and become independent.
The best teachers care enough
To gently push and prod students
to do their best
and fulfill their potential.
You are one of those.
Thank you.

Preschool and Kindergarten Teacher Poems
Teacher poems can be for students of different ages. Just as I designed "Sonnet For An Unforgettable Teacher" for advanced high school or college level students to give to their teachers, I also wrote poems from child to teacher. I tried to write this kid poem for teacher for the youngest students—a kindergarten teacher poem, for example. Keeping the vocabulary simple while saying something heartfelt (plus making it rhyme) wasn’t easy. Here’s the result--a poem for the preschool teacher.
Special Teacher
Thank you special teacher
For helping me to know
The things I need to learn
To live my life and grow.
I feel good with you because
Your teaching makes me see,
If I work at it, I can do it.
Thanks for showing me!

And here's another teacher poem for a younger child, a poem for Teacher Appreciation Week. It's suitable for an end of year poem for teacher or a goodbye poem for teacher.
We'll Remember You
Thank you teacher for helping us
To learn what we need to know
We'll all remember you
No matter where we go.
Thank you teacher for being
So nice and kind and good;
We like you so much, teacher,
We'd stay here if we could!

I always love your class;

I knew it from the start.
I’m grateful for your wisdom
For the teacher that you are;
You’re a very good person,
And as a teacher, you’re a star!

The Most Admired Teacher

I'll Remember You Always
Rarely does someone
get to influence a person's life
in a positive way
for a lifetime,
as a teacher can,
fostering optimism and confidence,
providing knowledge that leads to success,
and being a good role model,
as you have,
and you are,
and you will...
forever.
I'll remember you always.
Thank you.

Poem From Teacher To Student
During National Teacher Appreciation Week, while students are looking for teacher poems, perhaps teachers might like this poem from teacher to student to give to their best and brightest, or even to the whole class.
Students Like You
With students like you, teaching is easy
I look forward to each day;
Your wondering minds keep me on my toes;
You make teaching more like play.
Students like you make teaching rewarding;
When I go home, I’m content;
You pay attention, you learn—giving me
A sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for being the way you are,
For making my job so much fun.
I’ll remember how good you made me feel,
Even when my teaching is done.

Teacher Prayer
Many thousands of people are typing teacher prayer into their search box, so I wrote a free verse teacher poem to be used as a teacher prayer. Here it is.
Teacher Prayer
Dear Lord, bless these teachers mightily
as they seek to teach, enrich and guide
Your precious children.
Grant them abundant resources to do their job,
intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, kindness,
and the material things that make it possible
to turn some of these tender green plants
into the strong, stable trees that will lead our nation,
to transform some of these buds into brilliant flowers
that will bring light, color and happiness
to all who encounter them,
and to give every one of them the tools
to be creative, and productive and to develop
their own kind of success in the world.
Lord, wrap Your loving arms around these teachers
who give so much of themselves to grow our youth
into creative, responsible adults.
We pray that You will immerse them
in your boundless, transcendent love.
We pray that You will strengthen and soothe them
when they have given so much of themselves
that they need Your extra attention, Your extra care.
We love, respect and admire these teachers, Lord
and we pray that you will watch over them always--
these special people who hold our children
and our future in their hands.
Amen.
