Question

Teacher friends.  what is one of the most meaningful gifts a student has ever gotten you?Teacher friends. what is one of the most meaningful gifts a student has ever gotten you? I need ideas for a special teacher that has impacted both my kids.  

Answer 1

I got a sign from Sara Boo Creek with my name on it that I put up every year. The student wrote a message and her name on the back. Whenever I see it I think of her. I also really love the personal notes and pictures that the students draw for me. Recently, I was surprised with a sweet video of my students made by one of my parents. It was absolutely adorable and something that I will keep forever.

@rood3524 it was amazing! I watch it a lot! It makes me miss them more, but to have a parent take the time to put that together for me was so incredibly sweet. I’m so lucky to have very supportive parents, especially now!  

Answer 2

An ornament(out of season I know) but every year I message that family when I hang it on the tree  

Answer 3

One of my former kids painted a picture of my dog (from a photo), it’s the best gift I’ve ever gotten. That’s super specific though  

Answer 4

An engraved book mark. Every chapter book I read I think of that student and the growth they made that year.

Answer 5

I once received a butterfly bush to plant. every year, I would think of that student/family. I regret not taking it when I moved  

Answer 6

For me it’s always been more about the message than the gift. I save the cards that are personal messages and it is even more meaningful when the student and parent say how I’ve impacted their lives.  

Answer 7

Give something that shows you know what they love and write a note. Have the kids write notes. Like another poster said, it’s the thought and sharing feelings that means the most.  

Answer 8

Our school admin made a video of student drawings, pictures, and video messages. Hearing a student or parent say thank you for helping them succeed is incredibly rewarding and the most beautiful gift IMO.
