share to facebook share to pinterest labels round up summer thursday may 24 2012 teacher appreciation week subway art subway art is very popular right now for one of the teacher s gifts during teacher appreciation week i decided to make a subway art piece for each teacher several weeks before the big week i went to the school during lunch i had written each teacher s name at the top of a piece of paper i then walked around from table to table and asked the kids to list of adjectives they liked about their teacher i then took these lists of words and made the subway art in photoshop elements using the words from the children i have pictured here three examples there are several teachers and specialists that it is hard to get personalized words for the resource teacher the literacy specialist etc for them i did this for the pe teacher i did words like jump and persevere for the music teacher i did musical words like allegro and forte posted by valerie plowman at 10 00 am 0

started planning teacher appreciation week i asked raegan for ideas one she gave me that fit perfectly with the theme of nurturing gardens was to have the children each bring a flower to the teachers i sent this note home hi parents and students next week may 7 11 is teacher appreciation week at our elementary this is a great chance to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate all they do for our children our theme this year is nurturing gardens for one of the gifts we will be providing a vase for each teacher we ask that each student bring a flower to give to his her teacher s it can be a flower from your yard a flower from the store paper flower a synthetic flower whatever your child would like to do the idea is when the teacher has the flowers she will have a beautiful bouquet that is unique just like her group of students we will give the vase monday you are welcome to bring the flower any day that week thanks so much valerie plowman pto rep over teacher appreciation as promised monday i gave each teacher a vase with it i gave this poem i wrote not the best poem ever written please don t analyze it you love teach and nurture each day as the year passes we bloom in our way we ve grown to be so beautiful and grand in this growth you ve had an important hand we give you this vase to fill with a bouquet of flowers that represent each of us and say we thank you we love you and please keep in mind your effort has helped us to be one of a kind i was concerned about students remembering to bring flowers in tuesday i gave each teacher a beautiful yellow rose as pictured above i attached a note that said thank you for helping our children to bloom i knew this way there would be at least one flower in the vase that could remind students about bringing a flower the teachers loved getting all of their flowers my son gave his flowers out and was a bit surprised at the reaction he got from the various teachers they all gushed and thanked it made him feel happy they were happy but he was confused why it made them so happy i laughed and explained that if he ever wanted to make a woman happy he just needed to give her a flower it was fun to see the variety and creativity of the flowers there were all kinds posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels gifts pta pto teachers
