Author:: Elaine Byers

Gift a little Love to your class!

Valentine's Day is the perfect Day to celebrate love and friendship and to show appreciation for those you care about. Whether you are a student teacher or a fully qualified one, you will probably want to give your students a little token or favor on the day. You can keep it budget friendly by giving gifts such as pencils with a cute note, rulers with a message saying "you rule", or melt crayons to make crayon hearts. You can also use candy such as starburst to make a candy pun like "bursting with joy to be your teacher". You can also use a lot of these ideas for other occasions by changing out the message. So get creative and check out these Ideas to help get you started.

Bear Hugs

Give them bear hugs with these cute gummy bears. You can purchase a batch of sweets or even just get little bags and put the message Bear Hugs on cute card stock to attach to the front of the package.
