My son started school this week: and we wanted to be sure to show his teacher some love. Call him a class-pet: but I know how proud he was delivering these flowers to his teacher! See – his teacher is new to this school this year: and also new to teaching Kindergarten (Prima as we call it). So I figured his teacher could use some brightness! And what better way to spread cheer than to give flowers!
Teachers do SO much these days: I mentioned briefly in this article about how teachers spend more than $1 Billion a year stocking their own classrooms – and they’re not just buying school supplies. In fact, three in five K-8 public school teachers say that their students regularly come to school hungry, and as a result these teachers typically spend $37/mo from their own paychecks on food for their students.

Painted Mason Jar
Then: Paint your own Mason Jars that you have tucked away someplace: I found mine down in the basement this weekend while I was looking for a vase for my newest flowers since my last ones hadn’t died yet (Going on over a MONTH!). I decided to give the jars a coat of paint and a little bit of a rustic look:
Gather your supplies: You’ll need a Jar, Rubbing Alcohol, Cotton, Paint (I used Acrylic), Paintbrush, Decoration ribbon, Sand Paper, and a Sealer (I used a spray paint matte sealer).
Clean your jars with rubbing alcohol: you’ll want the paint to stick to the glass and not to the dirty/greasy fingerprints all over it! Then Paint away: I used three layers – separated by about 3-4 hours of drying time between each coat. Then I waited overnight for it to really set. I used 120 grit sandpaper (although I really could have used something much more rough because I really had to scrub!). Then spray with your sealer – let it dry for a few hours – decorate, and you’re finished!! 
I love the Matte Sealer – because it keeps it looking vintage instead of so shiny and bright.
I’ve also seen some people who have used a black paint for a base coat so when they scratch the other colors off – it really pops. I think it would be a good idea to do: but I didn’t try it so I can’t promise the results!

My daughter is a new teacher this fall, teaching 3rd grade. She has already spent a few hundred dollars just getting her classroom ready. There wasn’t even a chair at her desk – just one of the kids’ plastic ones! We have been going to garage sales the past year buying her books – over 1,000 – so she can have her own classroom library. She’s passionate about teaching, and hopefully can make a difference in a few kids’ lives.

I think the best teacher appreciation gifts are the ones the teachers can use outside of school in their every day life.

something for just them.

My 6th grade teacher was wonderful to me at a time when I really needed it.
I Will never forget my 6th Grade teacher, Ms Mugno. My father was very very ill with Esophageal Cancer and was in the hospital for a very long time. My mom went in early one day to tell her what was going on, and she was more compassionate than we could have ever imagined. She didn’t report me on days I was late, understood when I didn’t want to participate in class and never told the other kids what was going on with me. I was too upset to really talk about it with anyone else but her. She seemed to know when I needed someone outside my family to talk to, and when I needed to be left alone.
We never really gave teacher gifts when we were kids, but my husband is a teacher now and I have to say, any gift he gets from his kids he appreciates, just because of the thought behind it.
I had several wonderful teachers through my high school years!

I like to bring things into my childs classroom for the entire class to participate in….Like for Earth day…I got a bunch of small rainboot planters from Oreiental trading company and the kids got to paint them and plant something….The teachers put so much of their own money and so much time into creating fun ideas, I think it’s important as a parent to help out.
