A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others. — Author Unknown

I saw that quote and thought, that is sooooo true.  Especially in these times, our teachers are working harder than ever.  Larger class sizes, less support staff and higher demands have been pushed on them.

We MUST make sure they know how much they are appreciated.  They do not do what they do for money, they do what they do because they believe in it.  They believe in our children and our future.

Here is what Ezra is giving his teacher today.  The idea was altered from one of the items on the list I posted on Monday.

We took a Burt’s Bees Hand and Foot Care Kit (mmmm, love Burt’s Bees).

Then we embellished it with cut outs of Ezra’s hands.

We love Ezra’s teacher so much and we hope she likes Burt’s Bees too.

 We are going to miss his teacher so much.  We will have to think of something great to do for her at the end of the school year!
