Still looking for a teacher gift? Here are some tips from teachers themselves, and parents. Hint: The personal touch is always best.
The holiday break is near, and as you check things off on your to-do list, you run across that one item -- a teacher gift.
"A gift of words can be one of the most meaningful gifts that we save," said Allison Thomas, a second-grade teacher at Davis Primary School in St. Charles. Dowelski is a bit of a gift-giving expert when it comes to teachers. At the start of each school year, she makes a habit of giving her children's elementary or middle school teachers a survey to gather intel on the teacher's favorite things. She then uses that intel to surprise teachers with small tokens of appreciation, like a favorite coffee drink or candy, throughout the year.
Her advice to parents is to get to know your child's teacher. Ask your child questions about the teacher to aid with gift ideas.For example, Lisle Elementary School third-grade teacher Jean Zitt has a large collection of M&M's items given to her by students who noticed she liked M&M's memorabilia.
