I gave this gift to my son's teachers when he graduated from preschool....
Get a little mason jar (or any clear, small jar)
large bag of M&M's (depends on how many jars you are filling)
paste this note onto paper and attach to jar with ribbon:
Green is for the inspiration you gave to me each day,
Blue is for your patience in showing me the way,
Orange is for your warmth and your caring style,
Yellow is for the way you could always make me smile,
Red is for my life that you touched this year,
You’re a very special teacher, like this jar…that’s clear!
When I did this - I actually took the time and separated the colors and did a row of each - CRAZY! I think you can still get the point across if you have them all mixed...... good luck!
