Boost Morale With a Treat!
It's a bit of an epidemic, but low staff morale is spreading across many schools and districts. When I was asked who I wanted to send a card to, I immediately thought of the teachers I work with! I went back and forth for a bit, and I had a revelation - let's use the art from their kiddos! As anyone who has worked with kids before knows, the things we treasure from our students are creative and come from their heart. I used the online service www.Treat.com to create these cards...
I let the kiddos in on my plan - we were each going to decorate a small slip of construction paper, and I would piece them together to share in a card with their teachers. Look how amazing their art turned out!
Next step - scan the pics. (OK - really, I was in a hurry. I took the pics with my phone and uploaded the pics to Treat.com... Then I started browsing. {{swoon}} This was tricky, since I had a *ton* of cards on my "favorites" list. Here's a peek...
And here's the finished product, along with one of the thank you letters from the students I work with to their teachers... We had so much fun!
Please note that I was given a small quantity of cards from Treat to try them out. I was not compensated in any other way. All opinions (and all mistakes) are mine. May contain affiliate links. :)
