Pick Your Poison

Teachers.  There aren't many people who work harder then teachers.  Ok, I totally have a biased opinion because I used to be a teacher, but it really is true.  Teachers work so so so hard.  For not very much money and not very much recognition.  They do it because they love the children.  They love to see them learn and progress.  To meet their goals and advance in ways that even the child have no idea he or she could.  Its a pretty amazing job.  It is, however, a very tiring and stressful job.  I wish more then anything I could send a teacher gift everyday to my kids' teachers.  They deserve it.  Heck, I wish I could send them on a trip to the Bahamas! But this is reality and since I use to teach, I REALLY don't have the money to send a gift every day or send them on a fancy trip! Lol!! So, I try to send something every once in awhile to tell them thank you for their hard work and brighten up their day a bit.

Becca had the the cutest idea  to send something fun for Halloween.  Instead of sending a teacher gift, she thought it might be fun to send something the teachers could use in the classroom as a reward system or prize jar.  We found jars at a local craft store that had chalkboard labels attached.  They didn't have enough, so we found some plain jars and some chalkboard labels and attached our own! Sometimes you have to improvise! Then we filled it with Halloween candy, and prizes from the craft section that included spider rings, googly eye rings, erasers, and other little trinkets.  The kids went nuts over them!
