Since we have 3 teachers this year for school, it can get expensive! So a budget friendly I am, but still giving things the teachers can use, is what I do. :) And I wanted to do something every day for a couple reasons: 1: I truly appreciate my kids teachers - they are amazing and deserve every gift they receive. 2: the kids love giving their teachers the gifts - gives them great joy to be so responsible for the gift and making their teachers smile and feel loved.

Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3: pack of 5 notepads from the dollar store - comes in several different colors. Abbey wrote her name - so dang cute! All because her teacher taught her, not me.
Day 4: Flowers - bought 2 bunches of the flowers, split them up among the 3 and put them in mason jars. we added ribbon around the jar and a sticker with their name on it.
Day 5: 'Days until' dry erase countdown - printed out the 8x10 - this was the most expensive one and I printed one for us - click here. Bought 1.92 picture frames from Walmart and figured they could provide their own markers.
Last day appreciation - I felt bad for not showing our appreciation to the Specials teachers: music, PE, art, computers, library. They do a lot for the kids too and may not get the same appreciation as the classroom teachers. So while cruising Walmart at 11 pm, I found a cart with gum marked to .25 a pack! Extra gum - see where this is going..... and then an idea sparked to get the whopper movie candy boxes. 71 packs of gum, 5 whopper boxes, 2 cute plastic cups/straws, I headed out the door to figure something out for the next and LAST day of school. Nothing like waiting til the 11th hour - literally - sheesh.
Still unsure what to do, candy-gram idea, a google search and this is what we have:
Simple, easy, cheap - it's how we work around here. A wonderful year - thanks Vista teachers!!
