We forgot gifts for teachers

Anonymous wrote:I skip. No guilt. I have a lot going on. Making a nice Xmas for my children and family and all the prep and work that goes along with it is a ton of work - I’m not adding 18 teachers to that.

I bought small bags, pack of holiday cards and fancy candy bars. My kids filled out the cards. I asked them to write something you like about each of them. It took 1/2 hour.

You could something like that for new years. After I read that post here about giving professionals gift cards which are basically money and how it might feel insulting, I went with this. I also read an article from teachers who said the letters from students were their favorite gifts.
