[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate and thank students for each and every gift. But I do not keep it all. 
What gets tossed, donated, or taken to the break room:
-Homemade treats unless I know the parents and their home environment very well
-store bought treats unless they are reallllly good (no cheap popcorn tins from Walmart or off brand hot cocoa mixes, for example)
-candles
-paper weights, figurines, or other knick knacks 
-lotions and soaps unless really high quality 
-gift cards to restaurants like Olive Garden, red lobster, etc

The good stuff:
-homemade cards, hand drawn pictures from students and/or handwritten notes from parents.
-gift cards to Amazon, target, Starbucks, or Visa gift cards
-sharpies, nice pens, dry erase markers, copy paper, notebook paper, Kleenex, other school supplies you know every teacher uses

I was shopping with my kindergartener and she saw erasable markers. She told me that Ms. Larla's markers were all going dry and asked if we could get them for her. So my little girl observed a need, selected the colors, and fatness of pen tip.

I am so proud of her for that. [/quote]
