Teacher's Day gifts

for me, heartfelt cards/ letters are the best. for younger kids who can't write so much, then i think a homemade simple thing would be great. either bake something together with the parent or make a simple craft or card with the parent would show your appreciation aptly.
Oh ya, sometimes just a gesture that showed the student was listening in class or that he/ she remembered a detail about you, is really touching. I have received gifts that made me almost tear before.
:love:
My fondest memories of presents received are those hand made with love. I still have some of the cards in my storeroom. I especially treasure the ones received from pupils who gave me 'problems' in class. These are the ones
who always surprise me cuz it makes realize that in some way or another, I HAVE made an impact in their lives.
But the most memorable gift received (not on Teacher's Day though) was when I was doing my practicum. I taught Lit to this small class of 10 kids in Sec 3 once a week for abt 2 or 3 weeks. On the day of the last lesson, each of them presented me with something they had created - a card, a montage of appreciative messages, a poem etc .... to let me know how much they had enjoyed my lessons. I was so pleasantly shocked, and it further reinforced the fact that I had made the right decision to pursue my 'calling'.
I still have those stack of cards and messages. I don't think I will ever throw them away :love: :love: -
yes autumnbronze. :hi5:
There are some I will keep forever too, and remember till the day I die. :love:
Happy Teachers' Day to all former teachers, current teachers and teacher mommies/ daddies! -

Like that arh... then plant seed in a small pot and give pot to teacher with message: \"I am but a seed. Your patience and care in nourishing me with your teachings help me grow into someone that will bring joy and sunshine to others. Happy Teachers Day! PS. Don't forget to water me everyday!\".[/quote]Wah! Good one!Pen88n:
[quote=\"ChiefKiasu\"]Err... why do I get the feeling a lot of teachers are going to get sunflowers this year?
More likely next year since it needs advance planning.....this year too late to plant for Teacher's Day tomorrow - cannot bloom overnight :rotflmao: -
dd folded lots of paper wishing stars and gave some to each of her teachers ~
sending the teachers all her best wishes and hoping their wishes come true too ~ -

Happy Teachers' Day to Ms Beng (P1), Mrs Mah (P2), Ms Wan (P3), Mr Chua Sian Kay (P4), Mrs Lim (P5), Mrs Chia (P6), Ms Chua (S1), Mr Freddie Liew (S2), Mrs Lim (S3), Mrs Chandran(S4)-most of them would have retired by now but I am eternally grateful to them because they were the ones who groomed/educated/guided me in my formative years (other than my parents/siblings) and I had spent 10 very happy and wonderful years under their tutelage.
:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou: -
wow pinky.. you can remember all your teachers' names from P1 to S4...
you must either be very sentimental and thoughtful.... or still very young..
(or probably both.. kekeke) -
Gift shop auntie told me that teachers like pens (red pens) and markers. Was a bit puzzled becos I thought these should be provided by school.
Anyway, Plan A for DS to draw cards failed, so plan B was put in motion - markers and pens! Even if they dun like, at least it’s something they can use. -

In my DS's class teacher didnt like if someone give her red pen
har? she buy shares so pantang? then what colour does she use to mark?
As parent, I would want to show my appreciation to teacher. It's really quite tough wracking my brains what to get. i'm so veering on 'diam diam' and not do anything next time.
