Despite many good ideas, this year’s teacher gifts are hurried and last minute. Sigh. For each teacher we put together a little baggy of cookies, a cinnamon ornament, and a card from the kids. Eve wrote her name and drew a picture on the cards for her teachers, and Lex wrote nice messages. This is the card for his “helper teacher” (para… educator, right?) She is on vacation in Antarctica. According to Lex she is there taking pictures of penguins for their upcoming unit on penguins.

He also made a sweet card for the substitute helper teacher telling her that she is a very nice substitute teacher. He put that one in an envelope and sealed it up before I could take a picture of it though!
