teacher appreciation gifts, sweet times in 2nd (end of year packet)

I hope everyone is feeling very appreciated this week. I know I certainly am!

On Monday, I came into my classroom to find an empty vase on my desk that said, “Thank you for helping us grow in first grade.” As the students came in, each one of them gave me a flower (and a hug) to fill the vase. TOO FREAKING CUTE!

Then, yesterday, each teacher received a scrapbook with a page from each student. I cried my eyes out reading it! It was so special.

Here are a few of the pages:

PRECIOUS? I think so! You can tell they put a lot of hard work and effort into their page. Some students from last year wrote one for me too. It made my heart so happy!

Tomorrow, teachers are being given 20 extra minutes of lunch (yipee!) and they are providing it! I am very excited and so, so thankful. Wow!

In other news, I received a few e-mails asking if I’d be willing to adapt my first grade end of the year packet for second grade. You can find the adapted copy of it by clicking HERE:

Just two more days…we can do it!
