It’s so cute!!! Thanks for the idea! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924021 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 12:43:12 +0000 JJ2626 2924021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: @erinbaderin: thanks for this perspective! It’s just 2 teachers (one is the owner) and a very small outdoor school that she’ll be staying at next year. That said, we’ve really felt lucky to have them and I’d like to acknowledge them. I was hoping another parent would email about a group gift but so far no luck! Ha. We’ll do a note and gift card I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924016 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 11:44:16 +0000 meganmp 2924016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher, I just got a very nice letter from a parent that they also sent to my principal for my file. It meant the world to me! Gift cards are also a delight. Please... no mugs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924015 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 09:07:25 +0000 erinbaderin 2924015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JJ2626: We've always done gifts at any major changes (like, changing age-group rooms at daycare, etc), so if your kids are finishing preschool and moving on to new teachers I would do a gift, yes.</p> <p>My mom was a teacher and she got SO MUCH CRAP at the end of every year - so many "World's Best Teacher" mugs, one time a clock with portrait of Jesus on it, etc - so to avoid that, I always do gift cards - Starbucks, Chapters, one year I did Shopper's Drug Mart. Given how this year has gone, I'm thinking maybe the LCBO. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924014 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 08:42:14 +0000 josina 2924014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just gifted an Amazon gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924007 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 04:21:12 +0000 meadow 2924007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher..... a heartfelt card is truly appreciated.....I save them forever in a box at school!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2924002 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 22:35:22 +0000 ALV91711 2924002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that it’s nice to do and we have and will again this year. We are going the gift card route. But I think if it’s not in your budget then don’t stress about doing it. I would think even a nice message in a card would be appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923997 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 19:19:35 +0000 pachamama 2923997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JJ2626: I know, it's a lot ..but I'd say yes, especially this year ... Between 17 families, my son's (outdoor Pre-K) teachers got $340 each 😮. It's been a very, very, very hard year for us teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923996 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 19:17:23 +0000 pachamama 2923996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From a teacher.... Gift card and a nice note mean the world to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923991 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 12:40:09 +0000 Mommy Finger 2923991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going gift card and a card thanking her for everything she did for Ds2 this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923990 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 12:35:56 +0000 LadyDi 2923990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When in doubt I think gift cards are the best way to go. We contributed to a class gift for an Amazon card and are writing him a thank you card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923989 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 11:55:22 +0000 JJ2626 2923989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, how did I miss that end of year gifts are a thing? Is this something we need to do for preschool too?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923988 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 11:32:38 +0000 catgirl 2923988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked up a copy of "Miss Maple's Seeds" by Eliza Wheeler for DD's kindergarten teacher, which we will give with handwritten cards - one from parents and one from DD. We will also either give an amazon gift card or chip in to a class gift (if one is happening.) </p> <p>I also emailed our principals, superintendent, and director of learning to praise our teacher. She did such an incredible job this year and I want to make sure her superiors hear that. It's not necessarily a gift but so many parents only reach out with complaints or concerns - I like to reach out and share the positives when I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-end-of-year-teacher-gift#post-2923987 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 11:12:57 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2923987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What would be a good gift for a kindergarten teacher? Thank you!! </p>
