You're the WRITE teacher for me!
I tried not to do sweets, because I know teachers get a lot of them. I also know they get lots of candles. I wanted to give them something they would actually use, so school supplies seemed like a good idea.
Ben thought I was crazy. Apparently he had never heard of giving teacher gifts. That's no big deal, of course, every school has their own culture in regards to gifts.
But I have to ask. A poll of sorts. Do you remember giving gifts to your elementary school teachers growing up? Are you giving gifts now? What gift ideas did you come up with this year, or are you not doing gifts? I remember giving gifts as a kid and I remember the teacher opening the gifts in front of the class each year. Ben has no such memory.
There's no right or wrong answers, I just want to know if Ben is right and if I am, indeed, a little crazy.

I don't remember giving gifts as a child, but coming from the same parents if you remember giving gifts then it probably happened.
I like giving gifts and try to pick something the kids can do. This year they made stamped clay jewelry. Super fun for the girls, relatively easy, and 100% made by them. Not sure what the teachers will do with them for sure, but it's the thought that counts, right? Here's a link in case you are not sure what that is:
