Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
Good teachers have unique and very individual "teacher voice," and it shows in the kinds of ideas they are drawn to, as well as how they apply those ideas in their classrooms.

School Memories Album Create a fun school days album for your teacher. Layer paper over chipboard shapes and loop together with a small ball chain. Add wallet-size pictures taken of the class throughout the year. Include journaling of special memories and activities. Have your child (or each child in the class) write what they love about the teacher on paper and paste it into the album.
A list of several ideas for fun in the snow. (Can you tell that it's snowing today, in my part of the world? Yippee!)

Build a Fort Build a fort. Use sand buckets, loaf pans, and cut-up empty milk cartons to make a cool snow castle.

For the birds! Hollow out an orange and fill it with seeds for your feathered friends... right outside the classroom window!
