I'm looking for the same thing! Here is one that I found, but I intend to keep looking. I will keep you posted!





Take one cup of fun,

2 teaspoons of ink,

add some erasers – erasers that are pink.



Add in sharpened pencils,

2 cups of creativity,

stir with a wooden spoon,

until a sweet aroma fills the air.



Mix in a pinch of sweetness,

and don’t forget some books,

then pop it in the oven -

at 2 months a wait -

until school starts up again.



Take it out,

let cool,

and bring it into school.

1 cup Caring

2 cups Knowledge

1/2 cup Good Communication

1/4 cup Relevance

3 cups Encouragement

2 tsp. Task Oriented

2 Tbsp. Flexibility

1 Tbsp. Outgoing Personality

4 tsp. Positive Attitude

8 Tbsp. Respect

A pinch of Humor



Whisk together Caring, Knowledge, and Communication in a bowl. Stir together Respect and a Positive Attitude in a cup.



Beat together items in the bowl and Flexibility with an electric mixer until comfortable and responsible, about 3 minutes, then add Encouragement until combined well. Mix all of the above together and a little Task Orientation alternately in batches at low speed (scraping down side of bowl occasionally), beginning and ending with the caring mixture. Mix until smooth.



Spoon 1/4 cup Relevance about 2 inches apart and spread onto an experienced large background. Bake in middle of oven until just right, and teachers react when hot, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer with a metal spatula to a rack and chill (to cool quickly), about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of Humor and wha la, you have your Tasty Teacher! Enjoy!

You know what? I wouldn't change a word of it. You wrote this from your heart and with great sincerity. Who cares if there might be a grammatical error or a typo in it? It's the thought that counts the most, and these are your thoughts as you wrote them. Who are we to tell you what changes to make? I used to teach and if a student handed me a thank you note like this I think I'd get all choked up and probably cry--hopefully not in front of the student, but I would be so tremendously flattered and honored that a student went to this kind of effort to be so kind and generous. Stick with your own words how you express them and don't change it at all. It's beautiful just as it is and you are a beautiful person for being so thoughtful.
