Looking for a quick and easy goodbye gift? Look no further!
This spring I had a fantastic practicum student in my classroom twice a week. She was eager to learn and so helpful in our class. She really jumped right in and wasn't afraid to work with both small and large groups. I knew I wanted to give her a memorable thank you gift.
My bestie found this idea on Pinterest (of course!). I followed the link to OneFabDay.com to download the {FREE} tree template. I put the tree picture on a PowerPoint slide and then added the text. It's so easy to customize it to say whatever you'd like! I made sure to print on card stock (two copies ~ in case I messed up the first one!). Be sure that you leave some room around the edges if you plan to put it in a frame. I had to cut my page down a little to make it fit in my 8x10 frame.
I used just a little bit of tempura paint. I ALWAYS have baby wipes on hand when doing any sort of craft project!
I painted one thumb yellow and one thumb green and guided my kids in placing their thumbprints on the tree. I added their names with a very thin Sharpie marker.
The finished product!
I just LOVE how it came out.
Who do you need to thank for helping your students grow?
