Teacher Appreciation Gift

My son wrote a cute little note for his teacher's wrapped up apple,
"An apple a day, makes a happy teacher."


Summer break is almost here for my children. They will be out of school this Friday. Tonight we spent the evening making their appreciation gifts. Some teachers work very hard for our children. Very few will actually give 100% to your child. Those that do, really love to teach and love children. If you have a teacher or two that has done that, and you have forgotten to tell them you appreciate the time they have dedicated over the year, now is the best time to let them know.
Drop them a card saying thank you or just a thought, buy them a handy bright cheerful tote bag they can use. But most important, let them know they are appreciated. Being a real good teacher takes a great deal of work and dedication. There is not a lot of money in teaching k-12. Having a teacher who cares about education, and who takes their time with every student & most importantly, who knows how to adjust their teaching methods to make every individual student in class understand has become far and few. So don't forget, let that special teacher know she or he is making a difference!

Above pictures shown are the appreciation gifts my son put together & I helped with. This is just to give you an idea...Enclosed are: His handwritten note saying how his teacher is the best etc., mini musical doll, Snicker candy bar, a sweet book about children with illustrations (enclosed at the beginning of the book is a place to put my boy's school picture to remember him by), and a red juicy apple that I got creative & helped wrap up in tissue & construction paper & ribbons! Also, let your child write & pick out the stuff to show both of your appreciation. :)
