Here is a Friday Flashback to help open the lines of communication with your child’s teacher. I can’t believe that little boy below is now starting the eighth grade and stands taller than me. Wow, where does the time go?
Summer vacation is over. My kids headed back to school today(well two out of three ain’t bad). I sent them each with a little hand lotion or hand soap from Bath & Body Works for their new teachers and a note that said, “If I can give you a ‘hand’ this year, please don’t hesitate to call me,” and then included my home and cell number.
I just think this is a great way to start the year and open the lines of communication. This is our first year to have a man teacher. I was going to fill a work glove with candy for him, but I decided that since he has a sink in his room he would still probably appreciate some hand soap.
what a special idea…. my youngest started college this week. I am so glad he is commuting…i love having him home..well when he isn’t at school or working or with his friends he’s home.lol
LOVE that the hand soap is stress relief! Nice, humorous touch, that I’m sure he’ll appreciate! And a lovely, thoughtful idea overall, thank you!
That is so cute! We started school on Monday, but I’m going to save this for next year.
What a great idea!! My son starts preschool in September and I’m going to use this idea!

Sorry, the link is now fixed! Also don’t forget the link in the side bar categories “Teacher Appreciation Ideas”
I am also not able to click the final Back to School link either….would definitely love some more ideas before next week! 🙂
The hand soap/lotion is really a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing.
what a fantastic idea! your kiddos go back to school early, mine won’t start until 9/7
My daughter has a male primary teacher this year as well so I’ll be excited to see whatever you create for him later in the school year as well!
I can’t see the other links either? But need some good ideas this weekend:)
Such a good idea!
Great idea. The final back to school link is not live (for me at least).
You are so thoughtful! I bet the teachers really appreciate that kind gesture:)
Back to school link at the bottom is not working, or is that just me? Thanks! Love the blog and all those fun links!
You are simply amazing. Finally added you to my new friends page! 🙂 My oldest is heading off to college (sniff sniff) 🙂
I’ll have to remember this next year, since we already went back to school.
