Thanks for "BEE"lieving in Me


*Update 2016-Welcome Pinterest friends! Over 1100 repins!  I'm glad so many of you are finding this idea helpful.  The principal I gave this gift to seemed to really like it.  I finished my bachelor's degree and am a real teacher now!

You all know I'm plowing through the last semesters of my elementary education degree.  This semester I was in a Kindergarten classroom.

My time there is done and I wanted to do something to thank the principal for allowing me to be in her school. *I did a gift for the classroom teacher too, that will be a post later!Here it is!




Here is what I came up with:


cooperating teacher gift, student teacher principal gift, cooperating principal gift, Bee themed gift, cheer coach gift, piano teacher gift, voice coach gift
Obviously preservice teachers could use this gift idea for their cooperating teacher or principal, but it also works for lots of other gift recipients. Piano teacher gift from their student?  Dance coach gift from the child?  Cheer coach gift from the squad?  



In keeping with the bee theme, the gift itself is a bee shaped wind chime ($8 at CVS): 

bee windchime, beelieving in me gift, gift wrap, teacher gift, student teacher gift, student teacher cooperating teacher gift, school of education gift, academic advisor gift, teacher graduation gift, wind chime, cvs wind chime, under $10 gift, principal gift, dance instructor gift, gymnastics coach gift

Add some sharpie-drawn lettering and bumblebees, a twist of ricrac ribbon (Target gift wrap section) and some yellow tissue paper, and this gift is ready to go!
