Most edumacator types have been enjoying a designated Teacher Appreciation week during May, and so I'm a little behind on this. I did not benefit directly, myself, other than recieving three copies of a form letter from the superintendent of my district, which was more annoying than personally moving, what with all the extra paper to throw away.
Anyhow, folks have asked me more than once through these blogs what the ideal Teacher Appreciation gift is, and I have always answered "Barnes and Noble gift cards are good," and they are, but it's a boring and uncreative answer.
Well, my girl Anna (who made it to the top 10 finalists for Teacher of the Year in the second largest district in the state, gooooooo, Anna!) had a much more interesting Teacher Appreciation Week.
This year she has a class of strong personalities, as she charitably describes it, and they got a little out of hand while she was attending the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon and a sub watched her class.
Upon returning and discovering the poor behavior of her disciples, Anna promptly read them the Riot Act, then made them write letters explaining themselves, which further had to be signed by their parents.
Every letter came back the next day, signed. And Anna got some excellent gifts, including:
- a magazine organizer decoupaged with photos of her students and quotes from them about her
- a prayer
- tequila

But after too much tequila, what did that collage look like?
I say stop at the tequila.
we got electric pencil shapeners from the PTA this year (good gift, good gift!), but it comes in waves.
One year we'll get a gift every day, the next year not even a note. I would prefer a note, just a note, to nothing or junk. There are like 10 on the PTA and 40 on staff, umm...4 notes each?
