teacher appreciation week

teacher appreciation week went well this year, but as always it's a lot of work -

the staff seemed to enjoy what we had planned, so if you ever find yourself in charge of this event at your kiddos school here's a few ideas -

you know your in trouble when your living room looks like this at 2am however....

probably should have started a bit earlier in the day

day 1:

chocolate bouquets with notes to each teacher from their students and the students families

day 2:

posters hung in the cafeteria with messages from the students about why they love their teacher

my cute helper in the corner :)

day 3:

home made desserts in the conference room for the staff - thanks to PTO volunteers

day 4:

we played guess the mystery teacher.

clues about the mystery teacher were placed on poster board around the school - and students dropped their answers in a box by the office.

at the end of the day the first 5 correct student answers pulled from the box won a prize....

day 5:

homemade tamale lunch for the staff - courtesy of my friend veronica - such a rare treat, they were thrilled.
also on Friday each teacher received a gift certificate to Zuppa's (local restaurant - so yummy!)
