Teacher Appreciation Album {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

I am on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a Teacher Appreciation Album I made using the Little Minds stamp set, coordinating dies, and Jewel Collection paper pad


As the end of the school year approached, our First Grade Room Mom sent a note to all the parents soliciting ideas for something by with our teacher would remember her very first 1st grade class. 


I volunteered to make a small instagram-sized album. I personalized the spine with the pencil and thank you sentiment from the Little Minds stamp set. With help from my daughter, I sent home with each child a piece of white card stock with a question for the students to answer about their teacher. 

Some of the questions included:

What do you think (your teacher) will do over the summer?
What is your favorite memory of (your teacher's) class? 
What is (your teacher's) favorite saying?
What color reminds you of (your teacher)?
What animal reminds you of (your teacher)? 
Why do you think (your teacher) became a teacher?  
What do you think is the easiest part of (your teacher's) job?
What do you think is the hardest part of (your teacher's) job?
Where would you send (your teacher) on vacation? 


I went into the class to take photos of the students under of guise of a craft project for the end of the school year party.  I paired up a photo of each child with his or her response.  I also sent home extra card stock for the parents or students to write thank you notes or draw pictures which I also included in the album. 



I used Little Minds stamps and dies along with the Jewel Collection paper pad to decorate pages within the album.  The children's responses and parent's notes were so sweet that I believe the album was very well received and will be cherished for a long while.  

Well, that's all for me today! Be sure to stop by the Avery Elle blog today and every day for even more inspiration from Jamie and the Design Team!

Thanks for stopping by!
