jurijeka, is this a trick question? LOL
Your project sounds wonderful! It's sure to brighten up the school and make your teachers feel very special for many years to come.
All of my teacher appreciation projects turned out to be more work than I planned on. The most work was the Compliment Bags. Notes were given to students asking them to write nice things about their teachers on the bottom of the sheet and return them to school Then their messages were cut into strips and placed in gift bags that were decorated with their name, curling ribbons and a nice poem. And, of course, some Dove promises were thrown in for good measure. Whenever the teacher needed a smile or a gentle reminder about why teaching is
so awesome they just had to take out a strip of paper and read it.
And you only have to make 60 of them, at the last minute because another project fell through, then your son gets the stomach flu, everyone hates the new librarian so nobody writes nice notes for her so you have to run up to school over lunchtime and beg some of your more compliant students to jot something down, then the special ed and resource teachers get their feelings hurt because you can't know who their kids are so they can't participate.....
Oh yeah, and not all kids are nice so you can't assume that whatever they write on the paper is nice so you have to read
all 700 sheets that come back to make sure something rude, snotty or hurtful doesn't make it through....
But, in the end it was wonderfully received and appreciated by all the teachers and three years later they still have the bags on their desks.
