Or something equally corny. :) I am thinking of adding some packets of Propel drink mix and saying something like “We are looking forward to helping you “propel” through a great school year.” Or something equally corny. :)

This warms my heart to know there are parents out there that appreciate all the work and dedication given to students. Thanks. I’m a retired elementary school teacher of 31 years.

Have the children sit in a circle on the floor and read a story to each other! Pass the book around the circle and let each child read one page. The rules are simple: 1. A child on either side of the current reader can help if the reader gets “stuck” or the reader can simply decide to “describe” what they see happening in the story based on the picture in the book. 2. Every child gets a turn even if the book has to be read more than once. This simple exercise allows a teacher to observe each child as a solo performer and as part of a partnership or team and serves as an excellent first day activity. My favorite book for this activity is “Read to me Bo” by Robert Spence, available on Amazon. Have fun!!! Great first school day activity for 1st graders!

I love giving gifts like these. I need to do something like this for my boyfriend. He leave on a golf trip next Friday and I need to pack his bag with notes, etc. As for your water bottle... Hmmm... How about.. "Sipping on success" Or "Water for the mind" It could also be, " (Teachers name)'s Healthy Drink" GREAT ideas!

Tag with the colors, which could be used on another colored gift too, I guess. Tickled pink to have such a great teacher. I'd be blue without you as my teacher. Others are green with envy that you're my teacher or such a great teacher. I love the idea. Tag with the colors, which could be used on another colored gift too, I guess.

I made inserts to show through the cups that say "We think you are a great TEA-cher!" along with a quart sized tea bag for iced tea (Lipton), and the paper insert has a recipe for making Iced Tea. I also included a hand made coaster. the web-link has a picture from Flickr! I bought clear plastic re-usable tumblers from Starbucks (they look like their cold drink cups).
