Not only am I a preschool mom, but I am the room mom. So I have been doing lots of arts and crafts lately in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week and Brody was Star of the Week. Here are some of the projects I worked on!
I saw an idea for this jar at Valentine's Day on a blog (I can't remember where I saw it so if you read this tell me so I can give you credit). I decided to change it up and use stars and decorate it. Each kid in the class wrote on two stars telling what their favorite things about the teacher is and then I decorated the jar. I put a tag on the jar telling the teacher to keep it on her desk and whenever she needs a smile she can read a few!
I made this card for the teachers and inside is a collage of pictures like the one below. Some are holding signs that say "We appreciate you," "Thank you," and "You are the best." I also labeled all the kids names on them.
Lastly, the poster below was for Brody being Star of the Week. I love how it turned out. I was up all night doing it, which is so funny because I know this is just the beginning, he's only in preschool. We have lots of years left of this kind of stuff.
Had to wrap some Christmas presents quickly and I tried to use some of the Martha Stewart wrapping ideas I posted about a few days ago. They are far from perfect but I was on a time crunch. I also love the new labels I made for all the gifts this year. Super simple but cute.
The economy sucks, our finances are down, so you know what? I'm starting my Christmas shopping now for the kids. Expenses add up last minute come November and December so starting this month I am buying 1 to 2 gifts a month (oh and I might have a baby the week of Christmas). I better hide them good though, because some of them are from Santa!!
