teacher favorites fill-able form & personalized notecards

I laughed when Patrick told me he mentioned to Ashlee, that when I ask her about things (concerning their upcoming wedding) way ahead of time, it's not that I'm being pushy, it's that I like to be organized and prefer items checked off my "to do list" much sooner rather than later. (I also need time to shop, right?) I guess I never realized Patrick figured that out. :)

Before we went to meet Ella's new teacher before school started, I created a quick form for Mrs. Reiber to fill out when she had a few minutes. It asks about her favorite things. The form was completed and in Ella's backpack the first day of school. (Thanks, Mrs. Reiber!)

It's so hard to guess what someone would like, when you don't know them personally. I ran this idea past my teacher friends/family members and they all assured me they loved it and it was a great idea.

I wanted Ella to be involved, so I had her share her favorite things too.


I had some friends ask for a copy of the questionnaire, so I created a fill-able form you can tab through and add your child's own information. It's nothing fancy, but it's simple and helpful.

I ran across these darling note cards by Rebecca Cooper, on her blog, simple as that. It's at the very top of my list of "must read" blogs. I get so many great ideas for both my girlies and activity days projects. And she's an amazing photographer!

Rebecca's cards are mini and meant to be attached to a bundle of pencils--love that idea! I wanted them just a bit larger though and decided to personalize some for Ella's teacher.



They measure 3" x 3", which I thought was a good size for a little note.
