Teacher Appreciation Week (the first full week in May) is a time to honor teachers and recognize the lasting contributions they make to our lives. Here at Mathnasium, we champion that cause and we want to send our local teachers all of the appreciation they can stand!
We work alongside your students’ teachers throughout the year to fill in gaps and provide support for your students where it’s needed. We’re always amazed by the resourcefulness we see from teachers as they go above and beyond to engage with all of their students!
We’ll be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week at Mathnasium by decorating Teacher Appreciation cards, sharing stories about our favorite teachers, and working with our local schools to provide some gift baskets and other treats to the teachers who have gone above and beyond this year. And you can help!
Everybody enjoys hearing that they’re appreciated, and a card or a note is a great way to share your appreciation so that it can be revisited and remembered throughout the year. Mathnasium students are able to decorate a Teacher Appreciation Card during their visit, or you can print this one out and decorate it at home!

My favorite teacher is my high school Math teacher for Geometry and Algebra 1 Mrs. Royster! As i struggled through Geometry, she showed me the way to go about two colum proofs. She was always by my side and did not give up on me. She also helped me see math is not bad but rather fun. She was the reason why I wanted to go into education and find a way to help students find the love of math. and to this day I still keep in contact with her, and when I feel like I need some kind of motivation I know I can turn to her and ask her for advice.
My favorite teacher is Mr. Wiegand! He taught History and Drama at my High School during my Junior and Senior years. Not only did he have a talent for making history interesting and exciting (thanks to him, I have enough dual enrollment history credits to confuse all of my college math/engineering advisors), he also took the time to mentor students and talk to us about real-life topics. His wife actually hired me at my first job!
My favorite teacher is Dr. Black. He taught Psychology of the Child. He was a humorous old guy who loved sprinkling his personality in his lectures. He made me look forward to class every week because I knew it was going to be fun. He also took the time to get to know his students and was never a stranger on campus when he saw you. I will never forget the way he described positive reinforcement as "patting them on the head and giving them an m & m." This man walked around handing out m & ms during the lecture. Surprise, surprise that until this day I use that example all the time. It goes to show that someone who is invested in educating will stick with you years and years later!
