Teacher Appreciation Week 2012! Part One

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week (and we sure do appreciate Reese's teacher)!

We wanted to show her how much we love her with a gift for each day.

MONDAY:
'Rise and Shine' Breakfast Bucket

 The sweet bucket (a Target dollar section find) held a bright napkin, spoon, yogurt, tea bags and sweeteners, and a homemade Chocolate Chip- Banana Muffin. (You can find the ONLY recipe I use for Chocolate Chip-Banana Muffins here.)

I also included a little poem ...
"This week you'll get a daily gift for all you do,
Teaching my Kindergartner each day through.
Making a huge difference without taking a rest,
As Reese's teacher, you are simply the best!"

(I found this sweet poem from Skip to my Lou and changed it slightly to personalize it!)

 

TUESDAY:

Smarties and Sharpies

"Thank you for helping Reese become a 'Smartie' and a 'Sharpie' this year!"

I purchased a bag of Smarties and attached 2 Sharpie pens with ribbon.

WEDNESDAY:
 Apples and Hugs

"A teacher can't live by apples alone! She needs hugs too!"

 I bought a bag of Hershey's Hugs and put them in a decorative glass jar.
Chocolate whenever she needs it! :)

Daily note attached to the top....

Where did I get my inspiration for these ideas?

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
