I am a 4th grade teacher, and I also try to volunteer to be the class room mom for my two children.  I am a little crafty, I like to make cupcakes, and I love projects.  As my husband will tell you, these interests can quickly grow out of control when working on teacher gifts and class activities.  Because of the teacher thing, I like to “file” all of my ideas to be used or shared later.  Hopefully, other people might find some useful ideas posted here or have their own ideas to add.
