Today was L's last day of school. What a crazy start to the day! I ended up having to walk him to school because the car battery had died. I pushed P in the stroller and L on the glider straight uphill for 10 blocks and arrived all sweaty and panting, but I made it! I really didn't want L to miss his last day of school and the opportunity to say good-bye to his teachers and classmates (and to give them their gifts!). He was so sad yesterday when he realized he wouldn't have the same teacher anymore. He really liked her!
So in preparation of this last day, I was wondering what kind of thank you gift to give L's teachers. I found a cute gift idea here using plastic reusable cups that I love. The cups are
filled with instant lemonade and teas. Little labels are placed on the straws that say "thank you for being a
great ade for our class" and "thank you for quenching my thirst for
knowledge". Too cute! This combined with some fun popcorn made a great "Enjoy Summer" gift.
These are the items that I picked up...16 oz BPA free glasses I bought here on Amazon, a couple boxes of lemonade and tea mixes (individually packaged for 16 oz of water), plastic popcorn containers, and jars of "Midnight Blend" popcorn (containing yellow and blue corn kernels).
"L" helped me assemble the cups with some green plastic grass on the bottom for color. If I had vinyl and a cutter, it would have been cool to put the teacher's initials on the cups. Then, I put the jars of popcorn in the cute containers and wrapped it with cellophane.
All of it went in white gift bags with the teacher's initials and "L" decorated them with pieces of tissue paper leftover from the last craft.
Here's "L" with his teachers! Farewell Pre-K 3, moving on up to Pre-K 4!!
