Teacher Appreciaton DAY 1

It has been forever since Stephanie or have blogged. Life has gotten in the way and we have gotten busy with our  families, work, etc. What a better way to jump back into it though than Teacher Appreciation!  I am on the PTO at my girls' school so I am in charge of doing gifts for all the teachers in the school and the IA's. I also have to come up with gifts for my kids to take to their teachers. It is challenging to come up with so many different ideas but I think I was able to do it this year!

From the PTO I sent in these cute little pudding cups with the saying Thanks for pudding your heart into teaching ( or being an IA depending on who received it).

 From my girls I had them take in these vases filled with Hershey kiss roses. What a pain they were to make but they turned out adorable!

Check back tomorrow for more ideas!

12 days of Christmas ( Day 12)

As much as I have enjoyed doing the 12 days of Christmas for both of my kids teachers, I am glad it is over lol. Day 12 was by far the simplest day of all but also the most expensive. I really hope the teachers enjoyed these last 12 days!

Here is Day 12.

12 Days of Christmas ( Day 7)

Well we made it through the first 7 days. The girls are still so excited to take gifts in everyday and I know the teachers are loving it to. I have did my best to make them nice but not really expensive gifts.

Here is Day 7

12 days of Christmas ( Day 4)

Are you ready for Day 4? Here it is!!

12 Days of Christmas ( Day 3)

Here is the poem for day 3!

On the 3^rd day of Christmas my elf brought to me,

A very special Christmas ornament,
to hang on my Christmas tree!!

( I still have to attach the poem to it)

Check back tomorrow for Day 4!

Teacher Appreciation Week ( Day 5)

Today I am going to share with you the final gift that I have made for my daughters school. Next week I will let you know how well they liked them. Before we get to that gift here is a review of what I have already shared this week

Donuts

Popcorn

Yoohoo drink

the poem to go along with it

 

The cup of mints

The poem to go with it

For day 5 we have soup mugs. Because I couldn't find 26 of either one of these mugs I had to get 2 different kinds. Here is what they look like and the poem that goes with it. If I can find some individually wrapped crackers over the weekend I will add them to the soup.

I opened the lid on these and stuck the soup inside.

I also wanted to share some ideas for the assistants for the school. I think they get overlooked a lot but they play an important role in the classroom.

starbursts

dum dum suckers

goldfish crackers. I will package these up in seperate packages closer to time

mints

fortune cookies

I hope some of these ideas helped you out!

Teacher Appreciation Week Day 4

 I have given you 3 ideas so far for teacher appreciation week. Today I am going to show you number 4. Again it is cheap and easy to do and I like that fact that it is good for a male or female teacher. For this project all you need is a insulated cup with a lid and straw and some mints. I used hard peppermints but you could add the mint lifesavers or mint flavored gum. Fill the cup with the mint and attach the poem with a ribbon and your done!

Teacher Appreciation Day 3

Here is day 3 of ideas for Teacher Appreciation. Get a can of Yoohoo chocolate drink and attach the poem shown here. Super easy and I love the words on this one!

I honestly believe that it is the thought that counts. You don't have to spend a lot of money or time putting something together to show your childs teacher that you appreciate them. Sometimes the littlest things mean the most.

Teacher Appreciation Week Day 1 and 2

Next week is Teachers Appreciation Week. I am in charge of it for my daughters school and I finally had a chance to go shopping yesterday to buy everything.We have 26 teachers in my daughters elementary school and I wanted to have some fun with it. I made of list of some of the ideas that I liked and then with school credit card in hand, off I went to Wal-Mart ( it is so much fun to shop when you aren't using your own money lol) Here is what my dining room table looked like when I got everything unloaded.

Each day I am going to share a new idea with you. I am sure you have seen a couple of these ideas a million times ( but I am going to show you anyways!) but there may be a few new ones in the mix
Since I didn't get to share an idea with you yesterday I am going to share 2 with you today. These are 2 of the more common ones. This will be the gifts I deliver the first and second day.
The first day I am taking in donuts. This is such a easy and cheap idea and I am sure any teacher would love to get some breakfast ( ecspecially if it is chocolate!)

For day 2 I am sending in bags of unpopped popcorn. Again I am sure you have seen this before but I still think it is a cute idea!

Check back tomorrow for another idea. I will also be sharing some ideas for teacher assistants this week also.
