Nope!

No, I don't really think of Easter as a holiday to give things, but also, teacher appreciation week is the first week in May and we're giving (a lot) for that!

@lawbee11: ditto @yoursilverlining: Teacher Appreciation Week in 1st week in May - so we are holding off until then!

Second @Smurfette, I'm holding off till Teacher Appreciation week. Which I now realize they probably do b/c some kids are in rooms for 6 months instead of a year...

@lawbee11: Well, our daycare has a whole host of activities planned for teach appreciation week, so we don’t really give a set amount, we just contribute to the activities planned. This year there is a breakfast from Panera one day (we’ll give $ to that fund), a Mexican buffet lunch one day (I’m cooking for that one), they are holding a raffle of items where every teacher will get something (so I’ll either donate something the teachers can “win” or donate $ to that fund), and I’ve got to have LO fill out 2 pieces of oaktag as they are making a book for each teacher from the oaktags of the children in their class. Since I’m the class parent, I get (or, have to!) help assemble those books as well.

So, in total, we’ll probably give $20-$30 and cook several big dishes for the Mexican lunch (maybe another $30 in food costs?)

Before I found out all the stuff that was planned we had planned to spend like $25 per teacher (E has 2) and maybe something little like a card and lip balm or lotion or something for the main helpers for her room.

Nope! Didn't realize the first week of May was teacher appreciation week. Good to know! Now I gotta come up with something for that...
