DIY Gift Card Holders for Teacher Appreciation Week
It’s teacher appreciation week! Time to pamper our amazing teachers for being awesome and patient with our little ones. Below you will find the Cricut links to cut these cute gift card holders, so you can give them to your favorite teachers.
We have so many teachers to thank this year. We began the school year on distanced learning. For the first time I was able to sit during my kids’ classes and see how the teachers worked and managed to keep 15 kids calm and engaged during an online class. I am so grateful to all those teachers, because with out their guidance, I am not sure how much our kids would have learned this year.
Another amazing teacher that helped us this year was my amazing mother-in-law. She is a retired school teacher and came to our home everyday to help us. Here I had another chance to see a teacher in action. Our in-home school involved songs, hugs, and many many books.
Now, the kids are back in school. They immediately bonded with the new teachers and their love for school is back!
I am not sure how we will remember this crazy school year, but I do want to thank all the teacher for beign there for our kids in these crazy times.
