20 Genius Teacher Appreciation Posters

This year at our school, we had some really creative posters. These ladies (and maybe men, not sure) were rocking the creative caps.  Have a look-see at these guys!

Wizard of Oz poster with the teacher's face instead of Dorthy's.

Math teachers would love this, right?

"One in a Minion"

All-star PE teacher

Candy Bar poster (with the actual candy bars NOT attached to the poster)

You are outta this world (kinda Picasso there)

We think you are FanSTACHEtic

Lucky to have you

I love the poster for the Lunch ladies!  So cute

Even school Psychologists need to be appreciated

You have helped us grow beyond measure

You are one in a million

This poster was literally a work of art.  I know that it took hours, and the mom who made it was indeed an artist.  The woodland theme featured the teacher as a 3-d owl, and all her students as creatures from the forest.  Even the tree was realistic 3-d with a nest popping out to greet you!

Here's a close up:

Amazing talent and gift of time!

Thanks for being the wind in our sails with pinwheels.  So darling!

Pac-Man makes this poster so fun.

Forget Me Not flowers and a great poem.

Simplistic, cute and perfect for younger grades.

This poster was by far one of my favorite.  I tried to preserve the essence of how they photoshopped our Janitor's face on this Superman poster; it was funny and realistic.  It said "Mr. __ is [our] Man of steel"

Totally appropriate.

You are out of this world no. 2

Finally, this last one was the one that I made.  I hope these photos are completely inspiring to you.

 Now go appreciate some teachers!

Teacher Appreciation Week

I am a room mom, which usually means that I end up making the gifts and posters for teacher appreciation week.  This year, my friend actually did the poster (and it is incredible, complete with paper mache and top to bottom intricate).  I was, however asked to make the office staff a thank you poster, and this is what I came up with.

Office Staff thank you poster

I will see what I can do about getting pictures of the posters when they are hung next week.  

In the meantime here is a link to a helpful idea board on Pinterest.  There are some really creative posters out there that may have taken an extraordinary amount of time.

Speaking of extrordinary amounts of time, I'm going to be posting every other day, as I have met my match in my schedule right now.  I apologize to those of you who may be looking daily (though I'm pretty sure that's not many at this point).  But great things are coming!!  I can't wait to share some of the things I've been working on with you!

Time to do something to help those around you be happy today, it's Friday!  Everyone deserves a break on Friday.

15 ingenious DIY teacher gifts that will blow their socks off

I have told myself that I will find a way to thank my kids' teachers for one thing or another probably 6 times now.  For things that were really important to me (like working with our boy on listening and obeying class rules better, and helping our daughter to establish confidence in academics).  We have really great teachers.  That translates to 'I wish I could buy you some lavish gift, but you're probably going to get the best gift 10 dollars can pay for'.

These brilliant DIY gifts will probably knock their socks off!
