Each year, at the beginning of school, my 2 teacher besties and I trade gifts! FUN! FUN!
So this year I checked out Etsy and found this cool shop...RobertsDesigns. She sews and makes lanyards, key chains, etc. I got my friends each a lanyard with their names stitched on! Cute,right? (Hopefully, they don't read this post before I give them their gifts...awkward.)
I also made them little pennant-like banners that say R-E-A-D to hang somewhere in their rooms. This is what their gifts look like!
I am ALSO excited because this year I have TWO new co-teachers! Our county is small, so I have never worked with TWO other teachers! I found these little cuties at Pier1! It's lipgloss! TEE-HEE!
AND last but not least, I am getting a college intern for the first time as well! I wanted to get him/her (hopefully HER because I purchased pink things) something that would be helpful, useful, and hopefully a little inspiring. I was thinking something like a little welcome teaching kit. I decided to get an organization bin that papers could fit in instead of a little caddy. That way I can put papers I want graded or other things INSIDE of the bin to stay organized! I got the essentials...markers, stapler, CUTE scissors, felt pens, a pencil pouch, a mini hole-punch, post-its and of course, candy).
There you have it! A few little gifts that will hopefully bring a smile to my friends' faces as we get the year started!
