Teacher Appreciation Gift






Well, we went to school today. Hopefully we are finally better. He still has a cough, but fever seems to have gone. Lil angel baby had a fever yesterday and had to come home from nursery. I kept her with me today and she has not run any fever. She has been a little fussy at times, but I think she is teething. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at our school. Each day someone in each class is asked to send a gift, food or flowers. My day is tomorrow and this is what I made for our teacher. I painted the background, cross and edging. The scripture is cut out of scrapbook paper and put on the canvas using Mod Podge. This scripture is one of my favorites, and great for teachers. She is a wonderful teacher and really cares about her kids at school and away from school. She has told me for years that she was going to do everything she could to get Simon in her class when he got to her grade, and she did. I admire teachers. They are special people. My mother was a kindergarden teacher many years ago and my mother in law was my 5th and 7th grade teacher. These people spend more hours in a day with our children than we do.




Hubby is on his way home from New Orleans. I need to check on homework and see if lil buddy needs any help, so I better go. Take care. Be healthy, happy and safe. Hug those you love. Smile and giggle. I found this today while cleaning out some papers and I think it is a great ending to my posts--May your troubles be less; May your blessings be more; May nothing but happiness come through your door---Until we meet again, God bless ya'll!!!!

  1. I'm sure the teacher in turn will appreciate your gift of appreciation. Reading that your MIL was your 5th and 7th grade teacher made me smile!

  2. We teachers love appreciation from our student's families. Knowing there are people out there like you make our jobs easier.
    I sure she will love your gift.

  5. You did a great job and you are very thoughtful.
    I work at a high school and teaching has changed over the years.
    To be remembered is wonderful especially from parents because it is their children that teachers "touch".
