Graduation & gifts



Recommended Posts

My 5 year old is graduating from pre-k.. This friday... I'm in love with her school so much I love everyone there. The teachers assistance nurse principle everyone. Tears & tears just talking about it. I can't believe my baby girl is growing up more tears. My daughter couldn't really talk she learn sign language as she started getting words in. She learn from adding to subtracting to her number her address. To spell to read. To communicate with people. I'm so proud of her. This is coming from a mother raising 2 special need kids.

I wish I was rich. To buy everyone beautiful flowers arrangement & it's not due to my plastic surgery fund cuz from there I had to put my kids 1st buy dress shoes do my nails buy pull ups. So when you have kids you spend.

I want to buy flower arrangement for all but it's expensive & I will have to only buy the principle one & the rest regular flowers. What do you think? What other gifts besides flowers I can give the rest. 1 teacher 3 assistance 1 assistance principle 1 nurse. Last day of school is next Thursday.

Honestly? I think a heartfelt letter of thanks would mean mor than anything to them. Maybe with something your daughter made for them to go with it?

Your right I will buy a few cards. Still the flower arrangement Lolz for the principle & maybe tulips for the rest. I won't be seeing them anytime soon but we can always visit once a year so they can see how my daughter is growing up.

As a teacher, a letter of thanks and flowers will mean more than more than one more coffee mug! :) Have your daughter make a card. It will be a testament to the growth the teachers have helped her make.

As a former teacher's assistant I can say the gifts that I loved the most were the things thoughtfully and painstakingly hand made by the children themselves. I have kept every card, poem, artwork, and crafted gift from the kids I worked with. Those little ones are in their twenties today and I still see a lot of them (most are my son's friends). They get a kick out of seeing their old handiwork and like knowing I cared enough about them to keep these special gifts. These keepsakes are as beloved as my own children's childhood mementos. Who does not love a gift made from the heart of a child?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
