Favorite Christmas gifts from students
After sixteen years of teaching, I think I have received enough candles to light a small city during a power outage and so many bath soaps and gels that my entire class could be clean for a whole year.
My favorite gifts from parents have been genuine, heartfelt notes that have expressed their appreciation for what I have done for their child. Nothing has ever been able to top a "real" note.
Several years ago, teachers in my district were not supposed to accept any gift valued over $5.00 (it was considered a bribe), so a parent from my class took up a collection, and a donation was made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in my name. It was such a thoughful gift because the parents and students knew how much it meant to me!
