Teacher
Thanks
When our 2nd counselor
was called to another position, the Beehives wanted to tell her thank you
in a special way. So, they did a "body-spell." Standing in
front of a light colored wall, they spelled "Thanx" with their bodies (one
girl held her arms out to her sides at shoulder height for a "T"...two
girls facing eachother held hands at waist level for a "H"...etc...the
girls really got creative!). They did this so each girl had a chance
to be in at least one letter. The advisor then took a picture of
each body-spelled letter. They did this one week and then finished
up the night with personal progress. The following week they went
to the photo shop and watched how pictures were developed--their pictures!
Then they cut them out, mounted them and glued them to posterboard creating
their own thank you card. Our former leader ended up not only with
a wonderful card, but also with pictures of all the girls she had come
to love.

We made a card that said "Magnify your calling,
it increases your perspective". The word perspective was in a TINY
font, then we gave them a magnifying glass. They loved it.

Today, the YW passed out the cutest things.
I just thought that they were wonderful. They took a cheap plastic
spoon, but a Hershey's Kiss and Hershey's Hug bottom to bottom and then
wrapped it all in netting and tied it with a bow and a note that said,
'A spoonful of hugs and kisses for your willingness to serve!"

Make loaves of bread and place a little note
tied to it that says: We "knead" good teachers like
you to help our primary children "rise" to their potential!
