Teacher Appreciation Idea

We had an amazing and fun teacher appreciation week. I am a co-room mother with another mom and we came up with this idea for Teacher Appreciation Week. We wanted to pick one of her favorite books and make it *come to life* for her.

So, we picked Pinkalicious (she loves that book) and we began planning.

Here's a picture of her door: (Looking at it now - I would probably change a few things but that's how it goes) What you can't see in this picture is that it is 3D. The arms have a wire inside of them and they stick out a bit.

This was also the 1st day of the week and we gave her pink cupcakes.

We continued with the pink treats on the 2nd day. We tried REALLY hard to turn her pink with a basket of pink goodies!
And then the next day, we turned the classroom into a "garden". We gave her a bouquet of flowers and the kids made butterflies and we hung them up around the room. OK - I have to admit that there was one bat! Haha!
On the last day, we filled her up with "green goodies" so that she could get back to normal.
We also made up a story about the week and called it "Miss Monty is Pinkalicious". It is in 6x6 sheet protectors and it detailed the entire week into a storybook. Here she is reading it to the kids..it was so cute and she teared up a few times while reading it.
Probably one of my favorite teacher appreciation weeks EVER. I'm gonna have to try this idea again..it was totally fun!
