2.A Teacher for All Seasons-Joanna Fuchs

A teacher is like Spring, Who nurtures new green sprouts, Encourages and leads them, Whenever they have doubts.

A teacher is like Summer, Whose sunny temperament Makes studying a pleasure, Preventing discontent.

A teacher is like Fall, With methods crisp and clear, Lessons of bright colors And a happy atmosphere.

A teacher is like Winter, While it’s snowing hard outside, Keeping students comfortable, As a warm and helpful guide.

Teacher, you do all these things, With a pleasant attitude; You’re a teacher for all seasons, And you have my gratitude!

3.The Heart of a Teacher-Paula J. Fox

The child arrives like a mystery box, With puzzle pieces inside. Some of the pieces are broken or missing, And others just seem to hide.

But the heart of a teacher can sort them out, And help the child to see The potential for greatness he has within, A picture of what he can be.

Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge By filling the box with more parts. It’s putting the pieces together And creating a work of art.

4.My Teacher, My Friend-Unknown

My teacher, my friend, you’re always there, With knowledge and wisdom you always share. You help me grow, you help me learn, For your guidance, my heart does yearn.

Your love has made a difference, In everything I do. Thank you, dearest teacher, For being kind and true.

6.Teachers-Kevin William Huff

Teachers Paint their minds And guide their thoughts Share their achievements And advise their faults

Inspire a love Of knowledge and truth As you light the path Which leads our youth

For our future brightens With each lesson you teach Each smile you lengthen Each goal you help reach

For the dawn of each poet Each philosopher and king Begins with a Teacher And the wisdom they bring.

7.Favorite Teacher-Unknown

Thank you, favorite teacher

To letters and numbers, with shapes and fun

None of this would be possible, if it wasn’t for a certain one

They give their time, so selfless and free

9.Why God Made Teachers-Kevin William Huff

When God created teachers,

He gave us special friends

To help us understand His world

And truly comprehend

The beauty and the wonder

Of everything we see,

And become a better person

With each discovery.

When God created teachers,

He gave us special guides

To show us ways in which to grow

So we can all decide

How to live and how to do

What’s right instead of wrong,

To lead us so that we can lead

And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,

In His wisdom and His grace,

Was to help us learn to make our world

A better and wiser place.

You gave me joy

And peace of mind

So I can see

A future that

Belongs to me

A future that

Looks really bright

Thanks for showing

Me the Light

11.Ode to Educators-Jovial Jane
Oh, teachers, you’re the stars so bright,
Guiding us through both day and night.
With endless facts and stories to share,
You lead with compassion, showing you care.

In your classrooms, learning’s never a bore.
You make us laugh, you make us think,
Raising us up with each joyful wink.

Because you’re fun, and you’re so cool.

I need to learn, but very few
Can make me want to, like you do!

Some teachers are sweet
Some teachers are a delight
Some teachers are funny

Because in every possible way
You motivate and inspire us
Day after day

From me, you’d get A+!
