My kiddos are having a meet the teacher drop off your school supplies tonight at their school and I was thinkng of taking something for the teacher, have any of you ever gotten something from a student on the first day of school a kind of hello so glad I'm in your class lets have a great year kind of gift and if so what did you receive? What would be nice for me to get for them to give.

This is probably too late, since it is evening now.

I'd bet your kids go to Northside schools. I teach in Northside. I was there until about 6:20 this evening trying to get my room ready for Monday. It doesn't look promising thus far.

Our open house isn't until after school starts, so I've never gotten one of these gifts. Since you don't know what she/he might need, I could only suggest some sort of cutesy trinket.

How about something the teacher can use everyday like some fun pencils or pens?

Wow there are two Mary's from San Antonio??? LOL like it's not a possibility..LOL Yah it was a late thought but my daughters kinder teacher is pregos and leaving October 1 for leave so I plan to get her a baby gift.. My son's 3rd grade teacher seemed really cool, she made me laugh alot... and his old 2nd grade teacher offered her help or advice in any of my classes which I thought was really nice of her.. She also was a mid life career changer..LOL.....

Twilight zone material right there.

To differentiate... She teaches middle school science and I teach high school math. Now how can we remember which one is the math teacher.....hmmmm......

pneumonic devices anyone???? :lol:

Oh man, I get silly when I'm exhausted!

I guess I could change my name to Scientific Mary, but it doesn't have the nice alliterative effect

.

There's a Roy/SATX who posts sometimes - he's a math guy too - a PhD type in research or industry, really interesting guy. I haven't seen him around here much lately though.
