Teacher Appreciation Gift Sure to Please!

Teacher Appreciation Gift Sure to Please!
In this instructable, I will show you how to make a cheap and easy gift to celebrate a special teacher in your life. Guaranteed not to be something they've received before, and pretty much free, depending on how many extra little details you put into it.

We pass around the sheets of paper, and each person writes down the first few (nice) words that come to mind. It doesn't matter if it's a complete sentence or just a bunch of adjectives. We let it rest for a few days or so, then pass the papers around again. We invite others to write words down as well. If we overhear someone saying nice things about the teachers, we write them down.


When we are ready, we might have a list like this:

Wow, great idea. As a teacher, I would love receiving one of these. I am going to use this in my advisory class.
