Last week we whipped up a little something for Teacher Appreciation Week. While that has come & gone, I thought I would share the idea since it could also be used as gift for the end of the year.

Basically, it’s a take on the candy letters, but also using school supplies. I found the idea here but changed some of the wording. We used post-it notes, peppermint patties, highlighters, permanent markers, erasers, Extra gum, & smarties. You can find all of the supplies at Dollar Tree, in packs of 4 or more, which makes this a very economical gift!

This one reads:
Dear Mrs. Mathys,
I just wanted to send a quick {note} to say how much you {mint} to me this year! There are too many things to {highlight} from our year, but they made a {permanent mark} on me that can never be {erased}. You are an {extra} special teacher and I am a {smartie} because of you!
Love,
Zeke
