Take time to show your teachers some appreciation

Every day I am grateful for the two women that spend 6+ hours with my children and their classmates each day.  I can tell that teaching is not a “job” for either of these fabulous teachers–it is a calling.  Teachers give so much of themselves to their classes and sometimes parents overlook that.

I would like to take the time to say Thank You to both Pork Chop’s and Pea’s teachers!

This week my top picks for the Family Fun Friday link ups are centered around showing appreciation to the great teachers in our lives!

Birds of A {Buttoned} Feather   I love this idea.  My son’s teacher loves owls and I can see her loving a similar gift made with owls.  The buttons are the perfect touch!

Easy-to-Make Teacher Appreciation Gift  Does your favorite teacher have a sweet tooth?  This cute gift and card would be perfect.

Fizzy Bath Bombs At the end of a long day, nothing is quite as relaxing as a quiet bath.  These are sure to be a hit.

Teacher’s appreciation week is the first week of May for us.  We will be spending this weekend making something up to go with the gift card we’ve purchased.  I can’t tell you how comforting it is to have such wonderful teachers in our school.  I truly appreciate both of them!
