Should students sign individually or as a class?
Both work. For homerooms, a Group Card collects many short notes into one meaningful surprise.

What if I don’t know the teacher well?
Keep it general but sincere: thank them for creating a safe, encouraging learning space and for communicating clearly with families.

Is humor okay?
Light, positive humor is fine if you know the teacher’s vibe. When in doubt, stay warm and appreciative.
