Teachers do far more than teach lessons. They notice the quiet child, stay late to plan, celebrate small breakthroughs, and help shape who our kids become. A gift is a simple way to say we see that work and we are grateful for it, at any point in the school year.

Prices are rough estimates and vary by store and season. Links open an Amazon.com search, not a specific product.

Tip: Check your school's gift policy, and ask the teacher or the front office whether there is a classroom wish list. Whatever you give, add a few lines from your child about something specific the teacher did. A personal note like that is often what teachers remember most.
