Today is the last day of school for my children. The year has passed so quickly and it seems strange to think I will have a second grader and a fourth grader in school this fall. Gulp. My children had their end-of-the-school-year parties in their classrooms yesterday. It seems the class gifts for both of my school-age children had the personal touch this year.

tells the story of a little lamb who finds a playmate and has a day full of fun. The text is short and simple enough for a preschooler to understand, and the full-color photos of the adorable baby lambs will keep them engaged. The shots are perfectly chosen and make it seem like the little lambs are interacting with you. For example, there is one spread where Baby Lamb’s friend wants to play a game and hides behind the tree. The photo on that page shows a tiny little lamb peeking around a giant tree, looking right at the camera. Other photos feature little lambs playing and sleeping, and the final page features Baby Lamb’s cute little baby lamb behind as he goes home after a long day of fun.
What wonderful teacher gifts!We aren't done with school till next Tuesday. Are we the only people still in school?
Wow--I am impressed! My teacher gift cards and I will be hiding over here in the corner. :)
Super great job. What an undertaking! I know the teacher had to love it!We did a class cookbook with a picture, quote, and recipe from each child done up in Snapfish,
Great presents, HWM! I'll be those teachers are happy :)Here's to a great summer! (We're already in week 3 of summer here.)
Chris,Enjoy the time to write. It'll be hard once the kids are out for the summer. -----NoWheyMama,I'm sure the teachers will LOVE the gift cards. I figured third graders are at an age where they are able to do a nice job on a scrapbook page and write nice notes. -----PJ,The class cookbook sounds like a great idea! Perhaps next year...-----Kelly,I can't imagine three weeks of summer vacation
it is such a great idea in spite of the chaos to get to the finished product. The teacher must have loved it!
Beautiful gift. Your children's teachers will cherish it forever! Gifts with thought and meaning are the best kind! I am in charge of the preschool teacher gift next year and you have given me ideas and inspiration. :)
How sweet and thoughtul. Last year we did a little book for my kindergartener's teacher where each child said what they loved about Ms. Y. The answers ranged from "She's beautiful..." to "She's organized..." So funny and real.We've been doing summer for a few weeks here; hope you ENJOY!!!
These are both great ideas! For one of our daycare teachers that was moving on to a different job this year I made a quilt and we had all the kids put their palm print on it with fabric paint. Tears all around.One of our third grade teachers always makes a scrap book for each of the kids at the end of the year. This year she did it digitally and burned CDs for the kids. Took less time and turned
2nd and 4th grade, huh? It goes by FAST. My oldest goes to high school next year. Ask me how that happened!As for the teachers gifts, very cute. I'm sure the teachers loved them.Now it's summer...enjoy!
