Teacher Appreciation Week looked a little different this year 💕
Instead of putting the gift bags together myself, I let the kids take over.
They used the teachers’ favorite things lists to sort all the snacks, drinks, candy, and goodies into piles for each teacher… and honestly, it turned into such a sweet learning moment 🥹
They practiced reading,
worked together,
organized everything,
learned how to package the gifts,
and wrote heartfelt cards completely on their own.
I didn’t correct the cards either 😂
I wanted the messages to feel genuinely from them.
And somehow that ended up meaning more than the gifts themselves 💕
(Also yes… we made 4 teacher gifts for under $40 👏🏾)
