Teacher Appreciation Cards

Last year we spent hours making one elaborate card for Teacher Appreciation Day and it just took ever ounce of patience I had so this year I decided we were going to simplify things a bit - Mainly because this year we had to make EIGHT cards instead of one! (Each of them have four teachers and instead of giving one to all the teachers the class decided - one parent decided - to make cards for each teacher) Anyways, we tried drawing each of them a picture, but Gregory didn't have the patience, so we tried coloring a picture for each of them - didn't fly either, so today I laid out some watercolor paper and gave them a plate with real watercolor paint and had them paint just one piece of paper! They wet their paper down and went at it. We cut them into four pieces and glued them onto card stock. Bailey's cards also have a nice drawing inside with a little note she wrote and Gregory's has a nice watercolor picture on the front. Now we need to start working on the Last Day of School projects!
