Teacher Appreciation Week

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. At my boys’ school they provided the children with a list of items to bring to school each day. The list includes thoughtful items like a flower and a card.

One of my favorite websites for finding hand crafted ideas is Tip Junkie.

This link has some great ideas for Teacher Appreciation thank you cards. I am printing the apple thank you cards out right now. ;)

Last year, I created these treats for the teachers (click on the titles to view the tutorials) -

1. Teacher Survival Kits

2. Cake Pops

3. Sticky Notepad and Pen Set

4. Popcorn Treat
