Since my new obsession lately has been DIY blogs (just check the blogroll on the side) there were a million ideas floating out there. I finally went with these adorable M&M jars from Domestically Speaking.
I made one for each of Malakai's Teachers, including his Fine Arts Teachers, so I believe there were 8 in all. I think they turned out pretty cute!!
In case you can't read it, here is what the poem says...
Green is for the inspiration you give me each day.
Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.
Orange is for your warmth and caring style.
Yellow is for the way you always make me smile.
Red is for my life that you have touched this year.
You're a very special teacher just like this jar, that's clear.
You place knowledge in our children's hands
and melt into their hearts and lives forever.
You're a "Magnificent" & "Marvelous" teacher
Thank you for being my M&M.
XOXO,

Ooohh..These are just TOO cute! :o) I might have to use this in the future! Where did you get the jars?
They sell mason jars by the dozen at the grocery store! Even if you have extra, there are so many things that can be done with them :)

HOLLA! I used Kate's super cute idea this year, this is PERFECT for next year! For future reference, Kate's cute idea is this-take a plant, buy a ruler, attach a note to the ruler, "Thanks for helping me grow this year!"
TEACHERS LOVED IT!!!! NOW, I know what I am doing next year! YAY!
Yay!! It gives me warm fuzzy's when I get the C seal of approval!! Plant idea is so cute! So something you should have blogged about Kate!!
I should have blogged about it but I forgot to take a picture of it! It really did turn out cute! :o) I am HORRIBLE at remembering to take pictures!
You can even stick gift cards in the plant with flower card holders. (Which I did but I only have ONE person to buy for, not 8) I also found a cute idea for Teacher Appreciation week that I will have to share.
I lOVE it!! I am really happy that you included his fine art teachers into your appreciation gift....not everyone appreciates us the same way they do the regular classroom teachers :)
