Why We Love This First Day of School Marker Printable Teacher Gift
I like to try to think of small ways to connect with my kid’s teacher early on in the year. It doesn’t have to be a big gesture, just something small to say thanks.
I’ve done this in the past with school supplies by sending in a few extras. Nothing crazy, but if they ask for a box of tissues I’ll try to send a bigger pack. Or if they ask for glue I’ll purposely buy the container with extra-wide glue sticks like this one. We are fortunate that our family is able to usually give a little extra.
I’ve also been known to send snacks to school to help out. Teachers work hard and need our support.
This time I got a little more creative and made a little note that looks awful sweet coming from your child… and you can put this teacher appreciation gift together in about three minutes if you include printing the free printable below!
Small gestures add up, and teachers need supplies to teach for themselves too. Most of the boards seem to be dry erase or touch screen these days, and a teacher can never have too many dry erase markers at the beginning of back to school.
You only need a few simple supplies to make this thoughtful gift. Some dry erase markers, the free printable, some string and a hole punch!
