"Super Hero" Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation is on the calendar officially for the week of May 5th-9th. But our school is celebrating a week early. Since I got a jump on things, I thought I would share some fun ideas with you. Our talented PTA ladies chose the theme "Celebrating Our Super Heroes" for the week of Teacher Appreciation. And I have to say having a theme is the way to go. Parents and kids have been more excited about this week than they were in years past due to this fun theme:)

Our PTA sent home this letter to introduce the theme and share the week's planned events. I love the bright colors and 'comic book' feel of the letter. I also like how the kids get to do a little something each day for their teacher.

It was this letter that sparked my idea to 'sneak' into school after hours and decorate our teacher's door. I saw a few similar things on Pinterest and then I broke out my crayons and drew our teacher as a 'super hero'. The words say "Mrs.Kue You are My Super Hero".

Around the drawing are words to describe her 'super powers'. I used PicMonkey.com to create the words. When Mrs. Kue arrives on Monday she will be surprised to see herself as a Super Hero! (Feel free to drag and print any of the images below.)

I sent home this template printed on colored card stock with our class last week (we also emailed a copy to the parents just in case the kiddos lost it!) The kids will color and write about our teacher, then bring it back to school. I am collecting all the pages and putting them into a 'comic book' for Mrs. Kue. This is the cover that I made for the book using PicMonkey again.

I also want to make our super teacher an official cape. The one below is a 'no sew' idea-- just cut up a tshirt, like the ones they have at Hobby Lobby. I think it would be neat to have all the kids sign it and then she can wear it during the week :)

On Tuesday, another mom and I are watching the class, so Mrs. Kue can go to off campus to lunch. While she is gone, I am going to have the kids help make these masks. When she returns, I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Mrs. Kue and the kids in the class all wearing super hero masks. (A super hero always has awesome side-kicks!)

I am using this idea to make the masks. Although I am thinking I won't sew them-- just cut them out of felt or maybe even colored paper and then tack the elastic bands on with hot glue.

A few other cute Super Hero Ideas I saw on Pinterest are these lollipops. They would be fun in the teacher's lounge.
