Calling All Teachers : )
Any input?
For Christmas we gave her a little box of Godiva Chocolates with a Chapters Gift Card..... I was thinking of maybe a Starbucks Gift Card with a little homemade card that says "I like you A LATTE" but is that too cheesy? It's also the summer - so maybe there is a better idea?
Help - pretty please?
Not a teacher but have received MANY gifts from kids and parents -
Gift cards are always nice. There is a book called, "I Remember My Teacher" which is a collection of sweet stories from people about their favourite teachers. I bought this for my son's teacher one year and had Jesse write a "I remember Mr. ______ for...." in the front of the book. The teacher cried, big man and all. LOL Best gift ever.
I adore your idea of "I like you a LATTE" - soooooooo cute! lol

Gift cards are the best thing if you want to "buy" something. Especially gift cards for things that can be "used up" (wine ;0), coffee, books, manicures, etc.). It is particularly nice when the student thinks about things the teacher likes and picks a gift card thoughtfully (e.g. if you bring a Timmies every day - and they get you a reusable cup and gift card etc.).
But very best is a note written from a student, from the heart. Something specific that says what it is that was appreciated the most. With a younger student - they might say things that they like - but you could add things you've noticed that you've most appreciated. As a teacher - we keep those things to look back on in stressful times - and can even put in a "portfolio" to support job applications or performance appraisals etc. Something more than the "you're the best!" is the most meaningful.
I'm glad your son found a great teacher this year!

staples gift cards
any educational stores.. mastermind or teacher supply stores...
Michaels
many teachers take maoney out of their own pocket to buy things for the classroom.. coloured pencils, crayons, paper, craft supplies
I would get your son to make a handmade card and slip a gift card in too. The teacher will love the thought. Happy Summer :)

Truthfully, just being remembered and validated for all of her hard work is the most important thing. whatever you choose, she'll love it.
