Hi, Insiders! Teachers play an incredibly important role in shaping our lives and futures. As we near the end of the school year, you might be wondering how you can show your appreciation for all their contributions to and support for your or your kids’ education. Don’t get stumped – use Microsoft Copilot to get inspired!

Discover the perfect gift

You can tell Microsoft Copilot about your teacher’s background or interests, or their relationship with your child, and it can provide a variety of suggestions for gifts to buy or make within your budget.

Sample prompt

What are some great gift ideas for my 6th Grade English teacher that are under $50? She doesn’t like sweets and has two dogs. My favorite lesson from her was reading Macbeth and getting to act scenes out as a class!

Copilot’s response

Write a heartfelt note

Maybe writing a note or sending a card feels more appropriate for you. Copilot can turn a rough draft of ideas into something that’s personalized, detailed, and bound to make any teacher smile.

Sample prompt

Write a 2-3 paragraph thank you note to my freshman biology teacher who’s also my favorite teacher for the end of the school year. Mention that I loved learning about cell structures and getting to build a 3-D model of a cell.

Copilot’s response

Plan a class surprise

Go in on a group gift or show appreciation together! Just ask Copilot for the best surprises to plan for your teacher, and watch it come up with fun, creative advice.

Sample prompt

What’s a nice surprise my fellow classmates and I can do for our 6^th Grade homeroom teacher to thank him for being so cool and fun, and making us feel supported?
