Are you getting your kids' teacher a Halloween gift?
I don't recall doing that last year, but there was some discussion about it in my neighborhood. I just don't want to be the only one not doing this!
Re: Are you getting your kids' teacher a Halloween gift?
on that note, do I have to send in treats for Jake's class? In daycare, it seemed like most parents sent in something for the kids so I'll continue to do it for Liam, but I'm just wondering what the protocol is for school.
Jake - 1.15.08
Liam - 5.17.11
I am hoping we would get a note or something. I don't even know how many kids her class has!
For after school they mentioned something in our newsletter about signing up in the class (more like daycare situation obviously) to limit the # of sweets.
Um, yeah. NO. That Mom either has too much time on her hands, is a Pinterest addict, lives vicariously through her kid, or is trying to score bonus points.
Or all of the above. Look, I like to find the best in people, but this is taking it way too far and screams ulterior motive.
I just started last year with a gift at Thanksgiving, actually, with a nice "thankful for you" type note. This was to the school teacher. Daycare was still Christmas.
Emmy - I didn't do treat bags last year in Kindergarten, but Gavin did come home with maybe 2 or 3 from the other kids (on top of the goodies from the class party). It did surprise me, but it didn't make me feel bad for not doing it. I know the one, which was a bit elaborate, was the Classroom Mom and one with too much time on her hands - always trying to make a big deal out of everything. I appreciated it for the parties, though. LOL
My three sons!
My Mom is a 4th grade teacher and she was horrified when I told her I wasn't doing anything for Keefer's preschool teachers as far as a "fall gift" goes. She told me that everytime they have a party, I am supposed to send a gift which I think is crazy and the teacher's would get sick of trying to find something to do with all that crap. I did however pick up some cute little handmade witches at a craft fair I went to over the weekend and am going to send it on the day of the Halloween party this year. If I hadn't seen anything I wanted to buy though, I would've just ignored my Mom's dismay and probably not done a gift again or maybe sent a little mum or or something.
