Let’s start by looking at why and how we can say thank you. Then, we’ll apply it to teachers. Saying thank you to someone we believe deserves our praise and appreciation is a true show of compassion.
The two words — "thank you" – combine into one of the shortest, most powerful statements we can say. Receiving those words from a person we trust can instantly change a bad mood to bliss.
Saying those words with utmost sincerity can actually encourage the recipient to do the same act or behavior, an idyllic example of positive reinforcement.
Some of us overestimate the awkwardness and underestimate the power of expressing gratitude. We can shy away, fearing giving thanks will be mistaken as asking for a favor in return. Don’t let these thoughts get in the way. There is no denying the benefits of saying thanks as long as the expression is sincere.
Research has shown that saying your thanks as a token of appreciation will make you feel better. It is good for your health, mood, and general well-being. "If both parties are benefitting from this, I think that’s the type of action we should be pursuing more often in our everyday lives," writes Amit Kumar, from University of Texas Austin’s McCombs School of Business.
Saying thanks to a teacher
Now, let’s get to teachers — your child’s "parents at school." He or she deserves praise when doing a great job of teaching and caring for your child.
Giving a compliment is an easy way to show your gratitude. It reflects your approval as to how he or she is helping with your child’s learning. You aren’t seeking preferential treatment. Your note simply means you appreciate having someone you can entrust your child with at school.
A simple straightforward "thank you" note will do. Like these:

• "Your words are the sparks that light up our children’s futures. Thank you."
• "For the world, you are one person, but for our children, you are the world! Thank you, teacher."
• We know some times, your own children were deprived of your care and attention because you were busy attending to ours. We would like your children to know how awesome you are and implore them to be grateful to have such a person as you.

Is deeply felt and real.
You've been a great role model
For teachers and each kid;
You showed us how to be
In everything you did.
We'll miss your fine example;
We'll miss the things you gave;
Our pleasant memories of you
We'll recall and carefully save.
We wish for your retirement
The best of all your days;
May you discover sweet fulfillment
In new and rewarding ways.

Teacher retirement poems are in great demand. This teacher appreciation poem should linger long in the mind of the retiree.
As You Retire
As you retire,
know that we will miss you.
Every day, we will feel a gap,
an empty space in our lives
that used to be filled
with the pleasure of seeing you.
As you retire,
look back on your major accomplishment:
the lives you touched, influenced,
and improved forever.
As you retire,
know how important you are to everyone,
a gem, a unique treasure
that we could never replace.
As you retire,
be fulfilled, be happy, be at peace;
you deserve it.

Funny teacher retirement poems are popular, so here's one.
No Stress Retirement
We worked together, and now you will leave,
Retiring to boredom we can’t conceive,
With no stress, no strain, no deadlines to meet,
No worries about the verdict when a task you complete.
We who remain, we pity you so.
We wish you the best, and we want you to know,
If freedom and relaxation get too hard to cope,
Just think of us, and don’t give up hope.

Preschool 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 as a poem for teacher, I also wrote preschool teacher poems. Here they are.
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!

Poems for teachers that are written for young children are very popular. These Teacher Day poems and wishes can be used by kids on cards or with gifts.

You make learning easy;
Your lessons are fun, too!

Poems for teachers must include short poems from little kids. These short teacher poems from preschool and kindergarten kids will fit on a little card.
Mommy, Daddy and Teacher
Dear Teacher,
I love my mommy
and my daddy, too,
but the person
I think about most
is you.
By Joanna Fuchs
Here's another teacher poem for a younger child, a message for teacher. It's suitable for an end of the 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!

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 or teacher appreciation saying. 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.
