Elementary Teacher Christmas Gift




This year I found the cutest idea on Pinterest about doing a 12 days of Christmas for a teacher. So, that is what Hannah gave her teacher this year. I would have posted it before Christmas, but I didn't know if her teacher would be on my blog, so I had to wait. So hopefully you can tuck it away and use it next year.

I wrapped each day up with the following tag. And we presented her with a gift the last 12 days of school before Christmas. Here is what she got each day and the poem that went with it.

For the 1st day Christmas,
something for you to use,
I’m giving you this clipboard,
so your papers you won’t lose!

For the 2nd day of Christmas,
Your students are busy, little bees…
You can correct their papers
with these 2 red sharpies!

For the 3rd day of Christmas,
I give 3 binder clips,
I’m sure it could be tempting
to use them on my lips!

For the 4th day of Christmas
Dry-eraser markers come in four…
As my 2rd grade teacher,
You really help me soar!

For the 5th day of Christmas,
Some popcorn for a snack,
Sorry, that‘s all the food
I could fit in my backpack!

For the 6th day of Christmas,
cold hands, face, and toes,
Warm up with these 6 packs
of cocoa with marshmallows.

For the 7th day of Christmas,
I’ve brought you chewing gum,
It feels like Christmas break
is never going to come!

For the 8th day of Christmas,
here are 8 paperclips multiplied by 10,
Hope you’re enjoying this
’cause tomorrow I’ll do it again!

For the 9th day of Christmas,
9 canes of red and white…
Guess who my favorite teacher is…
if you guessed YOU, you’re right!

For the 10th day of Christmas,
10 magnets I bring to you,
You surprise me every day
with all the fun stuff we do!

For the 11th day of Christmas,
Some pencils I hope you’ll need,
(school name) is so lucky to have you, indeed!

For the 12th day of Christmas,
12 apples you’ll find in here,
I wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!!
(I included two cans of condensed milk and instructions to make caramel to go with the apples.)

Here are the links to the tags for this gift for you to download and use.






Keep an eye out for:

the 4th day, there is a blank spot for the gradeand day 11, there is a blank spot for the name of the school.



By the way, I got the poems and idea from this creative woman.

So what's the recipe for the caramel? I would to do this for my sons teacher this year.

Nicole Hayes said...

Submerge the cans in water and boil for like, 4 hrs. keep them covered with water the whole time. its THE most delicious caramel/toffee stuff EVER! oh! let. cool COMPLETELY before trying to open it. use tongs to take it out of the hot water.
