Can you believe that it is already May? Where did the time go?! I feel like we were just at Winter Break a few weeks ago. The end of the school year always flies by for us with all of the added events, end of the year testing, special projects, not to mention the warm weather (hopefully) returning. With all of the extras, it is easy to forget to prep for the last day of school. More specifically, the teacher gift.
I know that my children’s teachers have poured their all into my kids this year, and I want to show my appreciation with more than a simple Thank You (although those are always greatly appreciated!). So, from a former teacher to you, here are the things that the teachers in your life will appreciate this year!

Give Those Educators a Big Thank You!
Teachers give so much to our children. It may seem small, but every ‘Thank You’, hand drawn picture, and gift is a big thing to a teacher. I hope that these lists help you find a small, or big, way to say ‘Thank You’ to the amazing teachers that are helping to shape our future!
