Teacher Appreciation and more...

Recently I found some great ideas on Pinterest and just couldn't resist recreating them!  Here in Michigan we are wrapping up the school year and I thought it would be fun to make the teachers a little something special!  Brenda from Season's of Joy came up with the original idea and poem.  I just loved it!  You can find her post here.  Check out my pictures below...I varied the sizes for different teachers.  

 This one is about 2 inches in size...

Here is a view of the poem up close.  If you'd like to download a free sheet to print on your own you can go here for the free download!  It should print easily on 8.5x11 paper.

 While I was making those crafts I thought...why stop!  So then I made these cute Summer buckets!  The idea with these is to write something down on each close pin that you would like to do this summer. Then when we complete the activity we can take the close pin off and put it in the bucket!  I can't wait to have the kids fill these out and come up with some fun ideas for the summer!
