This one came from my Pinboard titled "Teacher Appreciation," because every year I struggle to come up with something both useful and unique, and it's HARD!
I wanted to give each of the big boys' teachers something for the classroom at the beginning of the year, and I saw this idea over at eighteen25 a while back.
I Pinned it at soon as I saw it, because I knew I wanted to remember it!
I opted to present the boys' teachers with the prints on bright-red clipboards rather than in a frame, simply because I thought it would be a lot more "work" for them to change the prints out of a frame than just to clip and unclip them from a clipboard.
I tried to include a print for each season, including boys' and girls' Happy Birthday prints and a couple of generic ones that can be used on any occasion.
I gave them a set of eight or nine prints, and they all came from eighteen25. Here's a link to their site, under the heading "Subway Art," which is where most of them came from. They have a new one they just introduced last week that I think I'm going to print out and send to school too, for Halloween!
I uploaded the files to Costco and printed 8x10s there for $1.50 each. And I got the clipboards from Amazon (they have lots of colors) for $4.99 each with free shipping, so the cost of the gift per teacher was really reasonable.

That is a very cool idea, I am a teacher too!
I do have a question. You are a soon to be Mom of 4. Do you have any strategies for getting kids to sleep? My almost 10 month old still does not sleep through the night. I am not opposed to cry it out, we did it with my first and it took months. This little one has severe reflux so unfortunately for me, if I let her cry too long it irritates things and she is in pain the entire next day. Last night she slept until 4 am, the longest she has ever done. I normally would be excited but she basically refused to nap the previous day so she was incredibly tired. I am so freaking tired. I go back to work in 2 months and I can not imagine surviving in a room of kids with autism feeling this tired!
