I am the room Mom this year for my 1st graders class. The teacher is retiring this year and I am trying to come up with a nice gift to give her from the class. I would LOVE some suggestions. School is out in just over 6 weeks so it can't be too elaborate or cost too much money. Thanks for your help!

What can I do next?

How about assorted plants in pots for her yard?
Each student could make "Garden Markers" with their names and drawn picture of themselves..

Give each child a page to decorate, including a photo of themselves, along with nice words about their teacher, fun things they enjoyed in class, etc. Then, put each page in a scrapbook or binder for her.

Some cute ideas I've seen - each child puts a handprint onto a large flower pot, an adult adds their names, and add a nice ornamental plant to it.

Ask any of the mom's if they quilt. You could get each child to draw on some material and those can be made into a lap size quilt very quickly for little cost.
