Gift to Teachers

With the end of the year coming to a close and our to-do lists getting longer by the minute, my librarian and I thought it would be nice to offer a little surprise to our teachers.  We put a sign-up sheet in the lounge for teachers to drop off their students for a 45 minute block of time during the second to last week of school.

While child-less teachers could spend it catching up on anything they needed to do for the end of the year, grabbing a coffee nearby, taking a deep breath, or however else they wanted to - while we entertained their kiddos.  We started with a story time for about 20 minutes, then students moved through different centers with games, activities, and an appreciation gift for all the teachers that have worked with them throughout the year.
