End of Year Teacher Thank You Booklet: Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grade 1

This 4-page booklet is ready to print double-sided to become a thoughtful card for your preschool, kindergarten, or grade 1 child to give to their teacher. A thoughtful, homemade card is always hugely appreciated by educators, and this template removes all the guesswork by providing prompts for your child!

How to Use:

Print a copy of the two pages DOUBLE SIDED. It is arranged so that it will come out with the correct orientation and be able to be folded into a 4 page card.

Help your child fill out each page and have them draw and colour pictures to go with the words.

Page 1: Your child writes their teacher’s name and their own name and draws a picture.

Page 2: Your child thinks of an adjective to describe their teacher: “You are so fun/kind/smart!”

Page 3: Your child thinks of something they will miss from their classroom: “I will miss the blocks/books/games in our classroom.”

Page 4: Your child thinks of a favourite activity: “I love reading/doing art/learning with you.”

“Thank you for being my teacher!”

Grades to Use With:

This card is designed to be used with students in preschool, kindergarten, or grade 1. Students can fill it out with their parent's help to give to their classroom teacher. Or, a classroom teacher can have their class create cards for their specialist teachers (art, music, resource, etc.).

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will write their teacher's name and their own name to personalize a card.

  • Students will generate a descriptive word to complete the sentence "You are so ___!" about their teacher.

  • Students will illustrate their sentences with a drawing and color the finished card.

Teaching tips

  • Print the two content pages double-sided before handing them out, so the sheet folds correctly into a 4-page card in the order the prompts are numbered.

  • Read each sentence stem aloud with the child before they write, since Pre-K and Kindergarten students may need the words "You are so ___!" or "I will miss the ___" modeled verbally first.

  • Use this as a whole-class, end-of-year activity where every student completes a card for their own teacher, or as a small-group project for cards to specialist teachers (art, music, etc.).

Skills covered

  • Sentence completion — students fill in a blank to complete a full sentence about their teacher.

  • Descriptive word choice — students generate an adjective to describe their teacher.

  • Fine-motor practice — students draw, color, and write within the card's small labeled spaces.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the two printed pages become a 4-page card?

The file's two content pages print double-sided and fold in half, so the four prompts (teacher/self names and drawing, describing word, what they'll miss, favorite activity) end up in the correct order on the finished card.

What are the four sentence prompts a child completes?

Writing their teacher's and their own name with a picture, "You are so ___!", "I will miss the ___ in our classroom," and "I love ___ with you," closing with "Thank you for being my teacher!"
