Teachers add so much to our lives and guide out children
with special attention. It always nice to
give an appreciation for their thoughtfulness
and caring. But what gift would be
appropriate and not overwhelm the teacher?
Here a just a few:
-
Fill a basket with things they will need and use
all year. Add pens, pencils, notepads,
stickers, boxes of staples and paperclips.
-
Wrap a coffee can with colorful paper and add three
or four of your favorite home baked
cookies. The plastic lid will keep them
fresh for days.
-
Teachers often burn the midnight candle as they read
reports and grade papers. Fill a basket
with bags of munchies like peanuts, chips,
popcorn.
-
Make a donation to the local zoo or library in your
teacher's name. Put the donation card in
with a note expressing your appreciation.
-
Teachers are always reading. Get a gift certificate or
card at your local book store and enclose it
in a note of your appreciation for their
help.
-
Get a apple made of cloth and filled with soft fibers.
Have every member of the class sign the
apple in ink.
-
Teachers are always carrying books and papers. Find a
satchel bag with an apple or red, white, and
blue flag design. Or make a bag with all
the school colors.
-
At the local bookstore, find a bookmark that says what a
great teacher he is. Or one that has apples
running the length of the bookmark. You may
be able to find one with dunce hats or take
another plain bookmark and add dunce hat
stickers to it.
-
Buy a glass
or ceramic mug and have your child paint an
apple and his name on the side.
-
Have your child create a pencil cup by
decorating a
juice can with brightly colored tissue paper.
