Teacher appreciation week has taken on a whole new meaning for us since we’re actually teachers now!
Both of us just
wrapped up our teaching internship. During that time we work under the
supervision of a rock star teacher. Obviously we both learned A LOT from our
respective teachers and wanted to thank them for allowing us to spend the past
four months in their classrooms.
Here are a few of
the things we created for our teachers:
Clipboards – the
clipboards were a dollar a piece at Dollar Tree, we already had some of the
scrapbook paper on hand, and we
definitely already had the mod podge. This was an extremely simple project!
1. Cut the scrapbook paper to size by tracing
the clipboard onto the paper.
2. Use a paintbrush to spread a thin ribbon of
mod podge around the edge of the clip board.
3. Working quickly, place the scrapbook paper
onto the clipboard.
4. Spread mod podge all over the surface of the
paper.
5. Repeat for the other side.
Button Apple on
Burlap – this was an “already on deck” kind of project. Had the buttons, had
the burlap, and had the turquoise frame.
1. Cut the burlap to size.
2. Free hand an apple (using chalk) onto the
burlap.
3. Hot glue the buttons over the chalk outline.
4. Fill out the apple with more buttons or
leave it empty.
I found the
inspiration for the apple on Etsy without even planning on it. I was just
shopping around for art…
Additionally,
teachers can always use essential supplies like:
Kleenex
Pencils
Pens
Paper
clips
Brightly
colored printer paper
Paper
towels
Cleaning
supplies
Fun
expo markers
If you want to get
more sentimental than that, a thank you card will do!
Have fun!
