You never know what students may be dealing with or going through and sometimes a simple kind gesture or treat can completely change their mood or mindset.  Just knowing someone cares can mean the world to young child.

Back to School Student Gifts

 I have found over the years that having a little something special waiting for young students on the first day of school or on Meet the Teacher Night (Open House) helps make them feel a little more at ease and excited about beginning school.  CLICK HERE to find over 20 different ideas for back to school student gifts.

Student Gift Ideas for Testing, Positive Reinforcement, Motivation

Throughout the school year I like to surprise students with a little something extra special to recognize their hard work and effort, improved behavior, achievement of a milestone, or to celebrate the completion of a big project on which they worked very hard or testing/assessment.  You would be surprised how much a simple trinket with a positive, encouraging note means to a young child and how important it is to them that you noticed their efforts.   I have even given a few to fellow teachers who have helped or inspired me or just need a smile and to know someone cares.

Over the years I have collected a number of ideas.  CLICK HERE to view some of my favorites.
