I guess I am a major budget board cheapie.
I spoke to DD teacher to find out what countries they will be studying in 3rd grade. Then I made an Epcot passport big enough to hold photos and a place for the Cms to sign. I plan on taking pictures of each country, the CMs in costume, etc. and adding it to the passport when we get back.
On each countries main page, I put the word Hello so in each country the CM can write hello in their native language plus I put "Mrs. XXXX 3rd grade class" and hoping they can write that also.
Once we are back, I'm going to dis-assemble it, laminate everything, and put it back together so the teacher can use it year after year in her classroom.
Maybe I need to rethink this idea or add something more personal for her.
