[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you give me an ornament for Christmas, it will occupy a place on my tree every year.  And I will remember the child who gave it to me.  Bonus if it’s hand made. If you give me homemade treats, I will happily eat them.  I might share them with my family if there are any left. If you make me a card, it will hang on my refrigerator for weeks.  If you give me a candle or lotion or a mug, I will be so thankful you took the time to go shopping for me.  Literally every teacher friend I know feels the same.  I’m not sure who these bitter dcum teachers are. But they shouldn’t be in the classroom. [/quote]

Appreciate doesn’t mean take home and use.

I appreciate the thought, but I honestly don’t use 90% of the stuff. Mainly for health reasons. I used to keep the lead-impregnated Made in China dollar store mugs to hold classroom supplies like pens and calling sticks, but it gave the impression that I like mugs and then I got them all the time.

If you or your child write a note, I will keep it always. I have a box in my desk going back years. No trip to the Mall or dollar store required. [/quote]
