Teacher Appreciation Doors

Teacher appreciation week was earlier this month (I'm a little behind, I know. I've been a little anti-computer lately). One of my favorite things about teacher appreciation week is decorating a door, and seeing everyone else's decorated doors! I have always loved decorating a door.... well, except for that one time when I did it at girl's night at my friend Erin's house. I used magic marker to outline the 2 1/2 foot tall waving kid on the butcher paper, and it went through the paper onto her hardwood floor. I thought she'd have a waving kid greeting everyone that came to her front door forever. That time it wasn't nearly as fun.

I wanted to post some of my favorite doors. And maybe next year, I can look at them for ideas! And maybe you can, too. If you have never done a door before and get the opportunity to, do it! Every year, when I look at doors, some are on the inside of the door and the door is shut. Or they are on the outside of the door and the door is open. Either way, they are hidden. Then I will come across someone who has put it ON THE WALL NEXT TO THE DOOR! I always think that is a much better idea, but don't remember until it is too late. Note to self: Put it on the wall next time! I forgot to put this one up before. I don't know who did it, but it is so cute! Each kid's name is on a car.

Kellie M. did this door. Isn't it so cute? I always LOVE her doors!

Kim G. did this door. I think it's freakin adorable!

I love that this one is so simple but looks so cool. I don't know who did it.

This was Kyle's teacher's door. I don't know who did it for sure, but I'm thinking it was Reta H.

This was Cory's class door. It was SO cool! It's hard to tell in the picture, but there is a light (a small, Christmas tree type light) coming out of each flame. That's the battery box taped on the left. What an awesome idea! Lisa H. did this door.

This is the door I did- it was for the principal. The civil war kid was in reference to my previous post about the parent calling the police about the marshmallow gun. I didn't know the principal well enough to know if she would find this humorous or not, but yay! She did! Whew.

This is Alecia's door. Each of the kid's names are on the stars.

Another kindergarten door. They both are similar, and very cute!

And this is one of my favorite teachers- Miss Bott's. Very cute.

I'm sure there were lots more awesome ones, but I didn't get a chance to see all of them (door shut / open issues). If you know who did any of the doors that I didn't have a name for, please comment!
