The past few weeks I have been trying to find a few ideas on things to do for our new teacher for the start of school. Every year I usually try to give our new teacher some type of small gift to wish them luck on the new school year. Having been a teacher, I have always felt it was a nice simple way to show my support and appreciation for how hard teachers work.
For my daughter’s Kinder teacher a few years back, I gave her a Special Day Seat Cover set from Really Good Stuff.com. It included seat covers for the kids to use for their birthdays, writing accomplishments, behavior rewards, etc.
This was an item I knew she could use in the classroom throughout the year, but was also something that she might not have had the funds to purchase for herself. (Teachers inevitably spend a large portion on their salary on countless curriculum essentials for their classrooms, so often times things like these are a luxury they can not afford.) I thought these covers were fun and something that would benefit all kids for the rest of the school year.
This year, as my daughter prepares to enter 3rd grade, I am thinking of gifting something that is specifically for her teacher. I found this website with a cute little apple basket idea…
This idea came from http://www.kelleighratzlaff.com. Super cute! I am thinking of putting dry erase markers, post its, and definitely chocolate! I am hopeful her teacher will really benefit from this small gesture. It is hard to believe that school is only a few days away! Wow!!!
