PTA Teacher Appreciation Gift - Soap & Febreeze in the Teacher Bathrooms

Friday afternoon, after all of the teachers' doors were decorated, I slipped in to all of the teachers' bathrooms and left these on the sink.   They're not much, but it was definitely something the teachers noticed!

 

Here's a close up of the tags.

If you would like to use these tags for your own PTA,

Teacher Appreciation Doors

This year our Room Moms decorated each and every teacher & staff door!

We have an amazing group of families that are always willing to lend a hand!

They could either use the butcher paper or take home poster boards.

Many of them used two poster boards together.   All of the signs were amazing!

Here are just some of the 60+ signs our Room Moms came up with:

 

Our GT Teacher

The Dyslexia Teacher

All of the kids' names are written around the edges of the daisies.

The jellyfish were made with some sort of see thru paper and yarn.

We Hit the Jackpot with Mrs. Floyd!

Music Teacher

The Cafeteria

The ESL teacher

 

5th Graders made such special doors.

Baseball is an important part of Mr. T's life.

 

 Here are some links I share with the room moms:

Teacher Appreciation Gift - Post It Notes

The final day of Teacher Appreciation Week's theme was

"It Should Be Posted EVERYWHERE!  Our Teachers are the Best!"

The students were all asked to bring a pad of post it notes to their teachers.

 

If you've followed for awhile, I gave post it notes as a Teacher Appreciation Gift two years ago, too.

You can see that I just revamped THAT IDEA here.

CLICK HERE to see my first Post It teacher gift.

 

An easy way to wrap up a post it pad is to simply put it in one of those cellophane treat bags and tie with a bow.  You can buy 50 of those bags for between $1 - $2.  Once you have them, you find a million ways to use them!

 

Keep in mind, most students interact with more than their main classroom teacher.  Taking a little something to those other teachers in your child's life will mean so much to them!

Teacher Appreciation Gift - Duct Tape

Day four of Teacher Appreciation Week's theme was

"We're Stuck on You!"

Students were asked to bring duct tape, highlight tape, glue sticks or magnets.

 

We chose some of the cute duct tape we've seen around.

I really thought about just writing on the outside of the tape, but I was already on the computer so I went ahead with these labels.

Again, I just printed them off on white card stock, punched them with the extra large scallop punch and attached them with a glue dot.

Don't forget to include your kids' "Specials" teachers when you are purchasing gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week!

Teacher Appreciation Gift - Clorox Wipes

Day three of our Teacher Appreciation Gifts theme was

"We're Coming Clean!  You're the Best!"

Students were asked to bring Clorox wipes, Lysol or paper towels.

(Paper towels may seem strange, but the only place in our school you will find paper towels are in the Kindergarten rooms and in the teacher bathrooms.  If there happens to be a spill in the classroom, the teacher either uses her own paper towels or Kleenex!)

 

I printed off these labels on white cardstock, punched them out with an extra large scallop punch, had the kids write the teachers names at the top and their names at the bottom and stuck them on with a glue dot.

Feel free to print your own labels HERE.

Teacher Appreciation Gifts - Dry Erase Markers

 

This year our school focused on bringing gifts that our teachers could really use...well, except for the first day when we showered them with flowers.   Flowers are just a nice thing, right?

 

So, on the second day, the theme was

"Our teachers receive high marks!"

The students were asked to bring a dry erase marker.

Can you imagine what a great day it would be for a teacher to receive a dry erase marker from each child?!? 

 

We found a deal on dry erase sets at Sam's.

I just made a quick tag on the computer, cut it out and taped it with clear packing tape to the package.

Easy, peasy lemon squeezy!

 

Because getting gifts for each child's teacher as well as each special teacher can be expensive, we decided to spread out the gifts for the specials teachers.  The P.E. coaches got a gift one day, the music teacher another day and so on and so on.

(Please remember these teachers.  They give so much of themselves everyday and often get overlooked during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Also, the librarian, nurse & office staff appreciate being recognized as well.)

 

Stay tuned for more gifts from teacher appreciation week!

 

Smiles!!!
