Teacher Appreciation

This is what we did for teacher appreciation gifts this year. My favorite thing was the "hugs" Lucy made. We traced her hand and cut out 2 of them. We cut a piece of ribbon that was Lucy's arm length and attached the hands to each end. We added hearts to the center and wrote thank you messages to her sweet teachers. I found this idea online.

We gave her teachers a Target gift card. We found this fun idea online as well.

Lucy wanted to give these to the cafeteria workers, janitors, and crosswalk friends.

We used our white chocolate popcorn recipe: 2 bags of microwave popcorn and 2 squares of almond bark melted. Mix and spread on pan to set up. 

We found these containers at Dollar Tree. 

I found the tag here

The parents in Wyatt's class put this together for Mr. Estrada. His sweet wife (who is also a teacher) was telling me that they were going to be taking a couple road trips this summer to see their daughter graduate and also again when she has her baby. We decided this would be fun to combine our money and put a road trip basket together. 

I wrapped the basket with a map I found at the Dollar Tree. I made the tags by printing off a map and then gluing the words to the map arrow.

We got gift cards for places to eat, music, books, coffee, gas, and a pitstop to Target (who doesn't want this on a road trip) We also included some road trip snacks and necessities like wipes, Kleenexes, and a first aid kit.  

We even included a gift for their grand baby.

Thanks for being the best teacher ever!! Happy Road Tripping!
