~teacher appreciation week-the rest of it~

 Have I mentioned yet that I am soooo

glad teacher appreciation week is over?

It kicked my butt.

Between the room parent responsibilities and

the projects I did for the committee responsibilities,

I was WIPED OUT by Friday evening.

Here's what my little guy gave his teacher

on Wednesday:

 A little mini rose bush with a trellis....

got it for $5.99 at our local market.

       

 Wednesday evening we went and decorated

the teacher lounge and stocked it with all sorts

of food, drinks, goodies and magazines.

These are some of the little sayings about teachers

that I made to go on the tables.   

 I took pictures of the lounge when we were done

but the pictures turned out not so great....

so you don't get pics of that :)

Just imagine a stocked fridge, counter tops full

of food, etc.  

This is what we gave my son's teacher 

on Thursday:   

 A "Smash Book" with this book mark:

 I got this free printable at 

Positively Splendid for the bookmark.

Click (here) to get yours. 

 I made a few of these little paper clips for the book too.

 We even did a page for her:

 She loved it.

I love Smash Books.....I call it the lazy

way to scrapbook. I've been doing books like

this for years.....who would have ever thought

a person could market it and make a ton of

money selling them? Wish I would have 

thought of that. Anyway.....it was $12.

Friday we bought her lunch so we didn't 

give her a gift. 

Also....Friday I delivered these to the 

teacher's mailboxes at the school.    

 At the beginning of the week I made packets

for each teacher's class. In each of these packets

was a questionnaire for the students to fill out about

their teacher. A student from each class was in charge of

their teacher's packet and the student returned it

to the office after they were filled out. That way

the teachers didn't have to be involved and could

be surprised. Once I got all the packets back

I went thru them, picked out any that had 

negative comments on them (there were only

3 in the whole school), printed up a cover sheet

and put them in presentation folders. 

Some of the answers the kids wrote were hilarious.

Like this:

That's it until next year. 

As much as I just complained about how

time consuming and exhausting it all was,

it was worth it. I hope the teachers felt 

special and realize how much they are

appreciated for helping us with our little ones.

I seriously don't know how they do it.

Thank you teachers!
