Teacher Appreciation Week

This week was teacher appreciation week,
and do we ever have some great teachers to appreciate!  Both of the kids have
thoroughly enjoyed their teachers this year, while learning something new each day.
On Monday, we gave the teachers this card (except it said "Thanks a Latte" instead) with a small Starbucks gift card.  On Tuesday, they received one of these card packets.  On Wednesday, they received an M & M flower vase.  These are super easy (and inexpensive to make).  All you need is the vase (these are $1.99 at Micheals and just the perfect size), I used the Fresh Flowers set from Stampin' Up!, ribbon, Kabob sticks, M&Ms and adhesive.

On Thursday, they received a little tin with four magnets.
The glass beads can be found at the dollar store, scrapbooking paper is used along with ModgePodge, and the magnets are attached with whatever super strong glue you have on hand.

And the week ended with a wooden apple clothespin...this can be used on their desk
for notes or a photo...and a tin of Snickerdoodle Bars.  Yum!

We just might have the best PTA anywhere.  They have outfitted each and every classroom with document readers, smart boards, and just about every other tool to help the teachers.  Our school is partially underground and has grass growing on the slanted sides.  When the teachers drove up on Monday, this is the scene they saw.  The sign says, "Because of you, we are STARS."  And, poked into the ground, was a star with the name of every student in the school.  It was pretty neat
to see.

Can you I-Spy my kids' names?
