Teacher Gifts

Lexie has had such a GREAT time in Pre-K this year.  We wanted to do something for her teachers and this is what we came up with.  Honestly, I think the less planning you put into something, the cuter it turns out.  You can tell that I free handed these, but it adds to them I think.  I used the Tulip Brand fabric paints.

It wasn't til after I did the rainbow on Mrs. Baum's that Lexie reminded me that Mrs. Baum loves RAINBOWS! 

 And this is what we put in the bag.  Lexie helped pick it all out, mostly all things that they have had in Pre-k.  Snacks, Juice, Tissues!



Teacher Appreciation Week

Lexie made some Very Hungry Caterpillars for her teachers in her Pre-K class.  They have magnets on the bottom.

One of the Story Times that I participated in with Lexie was about the Very Hungry Caterpillar.  I wanted to write a poem that went along with the Hungry Caterpillar book, but have it be about school and the teachers. When the poem was done, it didn't really go with the book, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

To my Pre-K Teachers:  

Not long ago I was very small,

I came to you to learn it all.

I was anxious, excited and ready to learn,

Then I found out I had to take turns.

On Monday I painted, swept and sang.

On Tuesday I cut and glued til the bell rang.

On Wednesday I skipped and danced in a line.

On Thursday Curiosity told me a Ryme.

On Friday I practiced my new skills at home,

And discovered I could make up my own poem.

On Saturday I remembered all the snacks that we had,

And decided even the plums weren’t that bad.

On Sunday I giggled about school, Oh What Fun!

Tomorrow I see Mrs Baum, Lomeli and Etchison!

So now I’m bigger and have learned how to share.

I am who I am because I know you care.

Thank you, Thank you for all you do.

As I get older I will never forget you.
