I always seem to forget the boys' preschool teachers around holiday time. It hasn't been until B started going that I noticed how caring they are. Every time I drop him off he cries (and he's been going twice a week for 5 months now). The only way I can escape is when one specific teacher holds him. Each time this happens it dawns on me how she will have to comfort him, distract him, and help him ease into the classroom setting all the while little ones are at her feet. It's a lot of work. One of C's teachers always makes him feel special by calling him her "Dinosaur" and giving him extra attention. It has definitely opened my eyes to all that they do. So I wanted to let them know that we appreciate them by giving them something small for Valentine's Day.
I got the idea from
A Thoughtful Place She used the jars as a tool to help her kids' save money.
I bought the glass jars at the Dollar Tree, the felt hearts came in a pack of four from Hobby Lobby, and I used about 6 bags of candy (Hershey's Kisses, Hershey's Minatures, chocolate crispy hearts, chocolate cream filled hearts, and chocolate covered marshmallows). Overall, I spent $18 (making it $4.50 each).
