This year absolutely flew by! Taylor's teacher actually let her give him a hug. That is a rarity! She taught him to have a greater love of reading and writing. He wrote a bunch of fun stories this year and read huge chapter books like: Holes and all of the Fablehaven's. Amazing. Reading was something his 1st grade teacher use to have to bribe time to do with sports books.
Jalyne had a lot of fun in Mrs. Kase's class with all the incentive programs. She enjoyed all her friends and was really able to improve in Math and Writing. 
Normally I just take the kids to good old Target and let them pick out a piece of jewelry for their teacher. This year I really wanted to do something fun. I was given these really pretty glass frames for a christmas gift from one of my mom's friends. I didn't think that I would ever use them so I had a friend make me some quotes in vinyl to put on the frames. The first one says They may forget what you said, but they will never forget the way you made them feel. I did this for Jalyne's teacher because all Jalyne needed to have a good day was a compliment or a pat on the back. The next one says I touch the future. I teach. I did this for the other two teachers. I thought that everytime they looked at this, they would be reconfirmed in their efforts as teachers!
I stuck pictures in the frames and walla. We wrote a little letter and put it in a bag with tissue paper. I told them they could take the pictures out and just keep the frame. I love it!
as much as i loved their teachers
