If you follow me on Facebook I shared that my son started teaching school this year. He is teaching honors history.....He loves it! I asked if he was going to give anything to the students for Christmas because.......I had an idea!
I really wanted to do something for the kids and I saw a version of this on Pinterest.
It has hot chocolate, marshmallows, and a candy cane to stir
We wrote "Warm Winter Wishes" since some of his students are of different religious beliefs
He has 117 students in his 6 classes so.....I made a trip to the dollar store and it was only $35 for the supplies for 132 bags......Some extra bags for the staff.
We got busy....Assembly line style....It really went quick
He said they loved them...Once he gave them out to the first class news spread quick and the other classes were excited to get their hot chocolate kits.
I dug out his first day of kindergarden picture and put it next to his first day of teaching picture
Don't you love that he has a name tag around his neck in both pictures
Happy Creating
Carol
Such a super gift and Mom & Son to make it happen!

Brad's students are so lucky to have you in the picture. What a nice mother/son project! I love it! How terrific that you are close to each other, both geographically and as a family! So good to see!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you'all!! (I live in the south, now!!! so I have to talk the southern talk!!!) haha
What a lovely thing you did there! Those treat bags look terrific and your son ... Wow! I'd have loved a teacher like that! Maybe I would have learned a lot more!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful post , I am so glad I read this , its such an inspiration, and the gift is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow great that your son did this and has such enthusiasm for teaching. The only problem I see is you've enabled a never-ending tradition, lol! That photo of your son as student/teacher is absolutely priceless! Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, this is so extra special and such a great idea for teacher to student gifts. Love it and I am sure it was a big hit. Love his pics from the first day of school to now as a teacher.

Great idea, Carol. Most teachers don't think to do something for the kids. Most precious are the pictures of him...love that! Merry Christmas to you! ~Zuni
