First day of school gift idea??
I want to give my students a small gift like a capri sun on the first day of school. Does anybody have a catchy note I can attach??
Re: First day of school gift idea??
I'm not a teacher, but I would think this might be one time that edible isn't best. Depending on the age I'd suggest a pencil, eraser, pen, or a pencil gripper. Food/drink for kids opens up so much for allergies and lifestyle choices. I know several parents that would be upset at their kid getting this. Especially from a teacher.
I wouldn't be exactly thrilled myself. One Caprisun or any straight juice and we're changing my kid's clothes.
I agree with 6fsn, don't do food/drink in case of allergies. This was not ever an issue when I was a child but now, people look for any reason to raise a stink and all it takes is 1 parent to get you in trouble for serving something without their permission. I personally think people are way over the top and ridiculous these days but still not worth getting in trouble over.
I like the pencil/eraser or something they can use in the classroom is sufficient. Maybe go to orientaltrading.com and look for something more giftish.

All this and BTW - they should be getting you something at holiday time and at the end of the year. It is a nice gesture if you want to get the kids a pencil or something - but my goodness isn't expected and re: juice like Capri Sun I wouldn't want my child to have it either but I wouldn't raise a stink over it. My doctor doesn't want my children (or myself) to have juice or high fructose corn syrup due to dietary concerns but I wouldn't raise a stink over it - probably just throw it out.
Have a great year!
I also agree that non edible is best.
A pencil and a homework pass is a great idea! Or what about a small sheet of stickers?
