Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7-11….what are you doing for your kids teachers? My kids have been extremely blessed with amazing teachers that my boys, husband, and I LOVE {with the exception of one which I won’t discuss}. I make a point to spoil my kid’s teachers through out the year to let them know just how special they are to us and how much we appreciate everything they do. Teachers are amazing people and I don’t know how they do their job every day…I am glad it isn’t me that does it! {never mind that I was close to getting my degree in teaching….oh my oldest son came along at the perfect time, he saved me HA}

Our school has a planned out schedule for the week ranging in things like bringing in a homemade card, wearing the teacher’s favorite color, bringing in their favorite treat and flower, etc. I have my boys take in something each day to their teachers that week. I want to share some of the things I am doing and have done in the past. I have no idea where I got some of these ideas from, but you can find them now all over Pinterest!

**Note…I didn’t include directions for each craft because they are all so simple and self explanatory with the pics. If you have questions though please let me know!***
