Teacher Appreciation Week

I appreciate school teachers. 

For "Teacher Appreciation Week" I made this for Abree's 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Palmerton. 

Ok, so there wasn't much to "making" it. I painted the frame, printed the saying and put the saying in the frame. It's the thought that counts, right? 

I had Abree make her a card too. "Mrs. Palmerton I like you because..."

Wonder if it's true? Do teachers feel this way about their students? I think Mrs. Palmerton does. :)

I've recently read a few articles/comments from real teachers about what they REALLY want/like for gifts. The most common wanted item was gift cards. The teachers reassured the readers over and over, that it's not too impersonal and they would take a gift card over an apple ANYTHING..any day. A close second, or maybe a tie for first, was a personal thank-you card from a student or parent.

So I partially followed the advice of the article. :)

Teacher Appreciation

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at our schools. Here are some of the

Thank You's we gave to our teachers.

Chocolate inside! :)

These green mesh bags may seem like a weird gift, but they are actually very useful. I have several sets. I've used them a lot when traveling. I put my toiletries, hairdryer, flat iron, medications in one, so they stay all together in my suitcase. I've used them to pack our travel snacks in...easy to see, but contained. I've also used them to put the kids clothes in, so they stayed sorted and together in their suitcase. Some other uses... wet swimming gear, beach toys, camping mess kit storage, paper dining picnic supplies and more.

What would you use them for? :)

Teacher Appreciation Week

In appreciation of my kid's teachers, I made these.

I love gifts that are cute AND useful.

I wrapped them in a brown lunch bag and stapled these tags to the outside.
We LOVE our teachers!!!
