What do teachers really want for teacher appreciation gifts?
I’ve seen a lot of posts where teachers got honest with what they get a thousand of, and what they really want.
Top of the list? Gift cards. If you have several teachers to buy for, I understand that it’s not always feasible or practical for you to give gift cards to every one of them.
The second choice? School supplies. Things like dry erase markers, highlighters, post-it notes etc are always appreciated and needed in classrooms.
Whatever you choose to gift your teachers, I know they will appreciate it as much as you appreciate all they do for you and your kids. Which one of these ideas will you use?
