idea

Clip to ScrapBook   
I was room-parent for my son's class for the last few years (can't anymore.. )
anyway, my favorite gifts that I received were:
from his P-K yr, they painted a terra cotta pot and had the children dip their thumb into a primary color paint, then put it on the pot, under each thumb print the teacher wrote their name. On the brim of the pot, with a black paint marker, she wrote thanks for helping us grow and they planted an Ivy in it. I got this 5 yrs ago and the plant is still alive! (amazingly) and the pot is still beautiful!

The other present was a tin pail that was full of those trail size lotions, etc from Bath and body.. (I love that place) and they had a poem too. I got that this year and thought it was so thoughtful.

Hope these ideas help
