One important thing I wanted to do was to show her teacher how much we appreciate all of the work she has done already. As a teacher, I know there's plenty of work to be completed before the 1st day. I can only imagine how much work an elementary teacher has to do. I teach high school, so the amount of decorating and labeling I do is far less than an elementary teacher. (I doubt my teenagers would enjoy their names proudly displayed on their assigned desk)
Since we are new to the school, all I know about her teacher is that she's female. I tried to pick simple, inexpensive items that most people would enjoy. I made sure it was items just for her and not for work.
Items I used:
Mason jar - 50% off at Hobby Lobby
Magnetic To Do List - Target
Lint roller - Target
Tic Tacs - Target
EOS lip balm - Target
Ribbon - Hobby Lobby
The most important item inside the jar was a handwritten thank you card expressing our appreciation for her hard work and our excitement for the school year. I hope this helps start your school year off right!
XOXO
