Teacher Appreciation Week

May 2nd is the first day of Teacher Appreciation Week. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate the many teachers who have touched my children's lives over their educational careers. I also know my teacher friends well enough to know that anything with an apple motif sends them right over the bend. So I have been scouring the blog world for creative ideas and then figure out how to recreate it.
I saw this eighteen25 and knew it was perfect for Day 1.  Ter and I have been celebrating "Treat Your Teacher Tuesday" all year by bringing his wonderfully patient teacher her favorite Starbucks treat each Tuesday morning. Here's my version:

Instead of using an actual cup wrapper, I created one using cardstock and my crimper. I tied a ribbon instead of the string ('cuz that's what I had on hand). We'll stop by Starbucks before school tomorrow and pick up a gift card to go in it.

The important thing is not so much
that every child should be taught,
as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
