Book Boxes - Revisited

Another year, another book box.
(Last year's is at bottom of the post...)
For the newbies, the kindergartner teachers ask that each family create a book box out of a cereal box.  The kiddos use them to hold the books they make at school.
It's a great way to recycle and to show a little of the kids' personalities.
What I learned last year, was that using decoupage to apply the paper is a great way to reinforce the box.  It just feel sturdier.  J wanted his picture on his because that's the way H's teacher requested his look in 1st Grade.
Here is what I came up with:

Because I'm still recovering, I just used a group of coordinating papers and decoupage.  My mind and energy level would only allow mindless crafting.

Aren't packaged papers the best?!?!

Turned out pretty cute, don't cha think?

Oh, I just stamped his name on with rubber stamps and acrylic paint after the Mod Podge dried.  Because I wasn't sure which end would show, I put his picture on both.
Doesn't he look like a happy Kindergartner?!?



 This is the 1st Grade version.  They sent home the book boxes (very sturdy) with only one request...to include a picture of your child reading a book on the short end.  The teacher added the names so it gave all of the individual book boxes a unified look.


Happy Fall!
Smiles!

Get to Know the Teacher - Updated Version


Last year I created this little "Get to Know the Teacher" questionnaire. 
Many of you have either downloaded it or used it as a guideline to create your own.
Well, our school is AWESOME, and they already had a similiar form available online for each teacher.  A school after my own heart!
Well this year, after a little "real" school experience under my belt, I decided to create a NEW "Get to Know the Teacher" that is just a little bit more specific.

My boys eat VERY early in day, so there are only a few places nearby that I can pick up a "take out" lunch.  You may need to adjust the names of the restaurants to suit your needs.
Also, when its hot (105+ degrees) outside, like it is here, a teacher will probably say her favorite drink is something cold...ran into that problem last year when it was 30 degrees in January.  It just didn't seem right to bring the teacher an iced coffee drink!
Hope some of you may find the little form useful!
Smiles!
