I’m always at a loss as to what to get teachers for teacher appreciation day. I want to give them something useful but not something that they already have a bajillion of (mugs, anyone?). This dry erase board I wrote about on Creative Green Living is useful and multi-functional. You can even make it with magnets so they can take it home and use it on their fridge if their desk is already full. [how to make a framed dry erase board]
