End of the Year Gifts for Teachers and Students

This teacher gift was inspired by a post on Pinterest.  Inside each can are m&m's and attached to the handle is a poem describing a m&m (Magnificient and Marvelous) teacher.  The printable is available here.  I used Recollections border stickers, some school stickers I had on hand and ribbons to decorate each can.  I bought the Party Size bag of M&M's at Walmart and was able to fill four cans with candy.  DD's teacher will also be receiving a gift card for Walmart.

Miss M and I decorated bottles of bubbles for her classmates.  I picked up 3/$1.00 bubbles at Dollar Tree and used printables from Amanda's Parties to Go .  We wrapped each bottle with a Summer wrap that we printed out on paper, then added ribbon and a  cardstock tag that says have a great summer around the neck of the bottles.  Miss M. signed the back of each tag with her name.

Student Valentine's Day Bookmarks

I am "new" to teaching Middle School, but my elementary teacher self wanted to make/do something for my students for Valentine's Day. I teach approximately 100+ students every day. I saw these on a fellow teacher's blog, Controlling My Chaos, and thought they would be perfect for my kiddos. First, I ordered 4x6 prints from Walmart and cut each print in half.
Then each half was folded in half.

Then I used a roll of magnetic tape to add 2 small squares of tape to each folded bookmark.

Here are my completed bookmarks! I love them and my 13yo snatched one from the counter to use in his books, so I am sure my students will love them too!

~peace and blessings~
