Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Every year, they have a whole week to appreciate teachers.

At Evelyn's school, they have a type of gift set for each day.  This year, I asked Evelyn what she would want to give for each day, then I took that and made little creative sayings and ways to present each gift.

Monday; Flowers

A colorful lei.

This was unique in form.  Most of the time, teachers get potted flowers, fresh cut, or drawn ones.  At least in South Texas, a lei was a unique way to give someone flowers.

Tuesday; Candy

A large round rainbow lollipop.

Evelyn was quickly sure what candy she would give her teacher.  I just had to come up with a cute way to deliver it.

Wednesday; Fruit

Apples.

Again with this, Evelyn immediately knew what fruit she wanted to give.  On the way to the store to get an apple, I was trying to think of the presentation, and I came up with this, with the apples.  I think it turned out nicely.

Thursday; Thank You Note

This wasn't too fancy.  I used card stock and helped Evelyn with spelling.  I thought that most memorable thank you note would be that one that was all Evelyn.

Friday; Your Choice

The teacher's favorite soda is Coca Cola, so just add a small box of popcorn, and a few Redbox movie codes, and you have a "movie nights on us" gift.  Perfect for anyone you think needs a few hours of relaxation.

The things teachers remember most, are the gifts that come from the heart and from the kids themselves.  Things that are all done by the parents won't feel as special.  When the week of gift giving was done, I made sure to let the teacher know, all the gifts were from Evelyn's ideas.  She may not have come up with every detail, but she brought the clay to the table, and I merely helped her mold it.  Be sure to include your children in the gifts for their teachers.

Hope y'all enjoyed this!  Make sure you teach your kids to know how important teachers are.  It is true, without teachers, the world would be in worse shape.

Hope to hear from y'all!
