When comes to appreciating teachers, I am the bomb. Here's what I did: Monday: fill out index card with your favorite recipe. I had a 3x5 notebook that I got from my all-day crop. So I went through a recipe book and picked out 25 entrees and 25 desserts. She loved it! I suggested that she could take the other recipes that she got and put them in as well. Tuesday: bring flowers. I order a dozen roses from ProFlowers.com which were delivered by FED-EX. The teacher thought that her DH sent them. Wednesday: a drawing. My DD had taken care of that. Thursday: bring something sweet to eat. My DD and I went the Rocky Mountain Choco. Factory for a New York Cheesecake apple. Friday: Made a card to show what you liked about the school year. I took my grungeboard poka-dot large letters and made an alphabet 8x8 book using all the children's name that started with each letter. I'll let you know what she thought of that as a post note. Post Note: She loved it. The kids liked it too!
