A Chalkboard Message and Stacked Books for a Teacher
A brown framed chalkboard leans at a slight angle on a white and cream tag, with Best Teacher Ever written in white script and THANK YOU! in white capitals, beside chalk drawn hearts in pink and orange. In front of the board, a green pencil pot holds pencils and crayons, and a stack of yellow, green and red books carries a pink flower. Two dark brown rounded bars hold the To and From labels in white at the foot.
Classroom Scene and Two Dark Bars
The tag is 2 x 3.5 inches, portrait. The chalkboard and books fill the top two thirds and make the message part of the picture. The bars at the foot are wide enough for a teacher’s name and a child’s name.
Writing on the Dark Bars
The To and From bars are dark brown with white labels, so a white gel pen or a white paint marker works best. You can also type the names in white before printing, which looks neater for a whole class. The chalkboard text is part of the design and needs no changes.
Preparing the Teacher Tag
- Type or write the teacher’s name.
- Add the child’s name.
- Print on white card.
- Cut and punch.
- Attach to the gift.
End of Year and Teacher Appreciation Week
The tag suits end of year gifts, Teacher Appreciation Week and holiday presents. Parents often give mugs, plants, candles or gift cards. The chalkboard makes the tag look right on any of them.
Gifts From the Whole Class
When a class collects for one present, type From all of Class 4 in the From bar. A class photo or a card signed by every child can go inside the gift bag. The teacher then has one tidy gift rather than many small ones.
Tags for Teaching Assistants and Coaches
Assistants, librarians, sports coaches and tutors deserve thanks too. The design works for all of them because it does not name a subject. Write their name in the To bar and the message on the chalkboard still fits.
Printing the Chalkboard
The dark board uses a fair amount of ink. Print on smooth card so the white script stays sharp. Check that the small hearts keep their colour in a test print.
Making the Tag a Bookmark
Because the tag is tall and narrow, it also makes a handy bookmark after the gift is opened. Laminate it if the teacher is likely to keep it. Many teachers like to keep little reminders from their pupils.
Using the Teacher Tags
Print a sheet in time for the last week of term.
