Teacher Appreciation Week

I know Teacher Appreciation Week takes place in most schools during the first week of May. At my kids Playschool, we do it in February. May is such a busy month for everyone, so we do it a little early. Here are a few things my committee did for our wonderful teachers this year:



My son is in the Babies Morning Out program at the same church. We included them in on the fun this year! For the first day, all student brought flowers for their teachers and the director.


Here is a picture of the vases that we made for our Playschool director and Music teacher. They get SO many flowers they needed a bigger vase. The teachers got a smaller version of the one above. We found them at the Dollar Tree and bought the burlap ribbon at Hobby Lobby. I made the sign and then made matching tags with the teachers names for each vase.


One of our committee members combined a few different bulletin board ideas to come up with this one! It turned out so cute! Each bird had a teachers name on it. The owl up top represented our Playschool director.


We also bought these hand sanitizer bottles at the Dollar Tree and a committee member used her Cricut to personalize each one. I found the sign on another blog (can't remember which one) as a free printable.


I found this sweet poem somewhere online and loved it. I've been making these personalized candle holders for gifts lately and thought I'd make them for the BMO teachers. The holder is from the Dollar Tree and I used my Cricut to personalize it.


I made these post-it note holders by using acrylic picture frames, scrapbook paper, and cut the initials with my Cricut. I think this was their favorite gift of the week! The students also brought cards to their teachers the day they received these.


They also got muffins and juice to go with their post it note holders.


For the last day, we set up a coffee and chocolate bar. It was a big hit with the teachers. My kids were sick, so I didn't get it set up as perfectly as I'd hoped. It still turned out cute!


They each got a coffee mug (again from the Dollar Tree) to use at the coffee bar. A committee member had lots of fabric scraps that she used as an insert for each mug. I made a tag for each mug that said, "Thanks for quenching our thirst for knowledge!"

This week was so much fun! Our teachers deserve so much more, but we enjoyed taking one week so shower them with gifts! I was exhausted when the week was over! ha!
