Our daycare just reminded us that this is coming up April 7th - 11th. The suggested schedule includes:
Monday - "Flower Day"
Tuesday - "Make a card Day"
Wednesday - "Parent Potluck"
Thursday - "Pamper Day"
Friday "Sweets Day"
I'm going to start brainstorming ideas!

Oh I like that they give you guidelines! Not sure when ours is but I thought it was in May for some reason...

We already had ours, it was in the winter and we had to provide food.
Do you have to do something every day?

@looch: I think that is kinda the idea. I hate that it is so "planned" and each day times 3 teachers really adds up. In the past I have just saved my money and pooled it for a gift card for the end of the week. I may still try to participate without spending money because I would rather give the money straight to the teacher rather than on flowers in addition to the other 20 they are getting. Not sure how I could do Pamper and Sweets without spending anything.

@T.H.O.U.: Oh! Are you clever??? You could always make up a little poem each day that goes along with the theme but no gift - then at the end of the week do a gift card??
Like Monday is flowers - so make a paper flower and attach a card that says " Flowers are pretty but they die too soon! Your real gift will be here Friday at Noon!"
Then on Tuesday for Make a card - Make a card and do another rhyme - Cards are sweet Cards are fun
On Friday you will see who is #1 (Ok so that was dumb but you get the idea!)

What about a faux flower pin, or a potted plant?
I know, I feel like we already have so much going on as working parents, to add something else to the list?

@T.H.O.U.: Our's is May 12-16 according to the calendar. I thought that it was an universal date, weird.

Is it wrong that I would be annoyed if I got this from my kid's school? And I am a teacher! 
Remembering one day I'm supposed to send something is stressful enough....

@looch: I agree. I definitely want to show appreciation but doing something everyday for a week seems excessive to me.

We had one for my sons preschool in the fall and we brought food so they could have a nice lunch. Interesting that we have different weeks/days!

I think this is actually a great idea. At preschool age if the child is involved it can be very educational, fun and set them up for Instilling the values of education, creativity, generosity, kindness. If I were to start up something at LOs preschool I would phrase it as a suggestion and reiterate you don't have to spend money because, agreed, I wouldn't want to pressure parents into spending money.

Day 1 - flowers.
I'm trying to use supplies on hand so I broke out old scrapbook paper and cut out flower petals for her to glue on. She loved the craft and I think they turned out pretty cute!
