[quote=Anonymous]We typically give a gift card from the entire class, out of the class funds that parents contributed to at the beginning of the year. If you think about a $100 gift card from 28 students, it's not that crazy (roughly $3/student). The combined effort makes all the difference. Our school also pairs us with a specialist, and we typically also give them a gift card, although not for the same amount as they are not the primary interaction with the class. I always suggest a handwritten note or card as well. Teachers in the past have told me to communicate their "likes," should parents want to give something extra. For example, one teacher was trying a healthier approach and asked that I let parents know she'd prefer trail mix or a simple snack/granola bar instead of a box of chocolates. [/quote]
