Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2nd – May 6th!
When I was teaching 2nd grade, I loved receiving little ‘happies’ from my students that expressed their excitement about what we did in our classroom. It gave me just the encouragement I needed to keep on keeping on!
I hope you’ll take a look at some of these fabulous ideas and then bring a little joy to your Happy Buddy’s teacher next week!

Happy Teacher Appreciate-ing! 🙂
I was a second grade teacher too 🙂 I love these ideas…especially the “thanks a latte”! Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome! I don’t have kids. I’m not a teacher, but I have co-workers that I’d love to encourage from a project that we’re on.
I also have neighbors and friends…no reason that this wouldn’t work for them.
Awesome teacher gift list. I shared it with my Facebook readers!
