Start the school year with a fresh introduction by gifting her with a small token of gratitude for her effort in the classroom. Keeping it simple and including your child's personal touch will be sure to please. Here are some super ideas.

–A handwritten note sharing a little information about your family and what you are looking forward to in the year ahead.
–Poems, pictures or short stories. The teacher will enjoy receiving them and your child will enjoy sharing her creativity.
–A magazine subscription for the class—appropriate for the subject and grade level.
–A collection of stickers, cute erasers and small toys for the teacher to share as rewards.
–An envelope filled with discount coupons for office, craft and teacher supply stores.
–Flowers from your garden or an easy-to-care-for plant.
–A craft box of assorted colored pencils, markers, construction paper.
–A resusable water bottle, decorated by your child with colored permanent markers.
–A care package presented in a reusable tote bag with items like, microwave popcorn, granola bars, instant oatmeal, chocolate bites and assorted tea bags.
