I am a teacher. Gift cards are awesome!! Once a kid gave me lottery tickets. That was an inexpensive gift, but fun!! And it was not something ugly covered in country apples or chalkboards that you just have to find a place to put it. Truthfully, after several years of teaching, that stuff is just really overdone. I would rather have a $5 or $10 gift card than a piece of teacher decor...or even just a thank you card!! Parents never hesitate to complain to teachers, but in general we don`t hear as many compliments or words of appreciation, and that would cost nothing.

She`ll really appreciate a gift card. Have your daughter make a card for her with a drawing on it, that`s the thoughtful part. I keep all of the cards students make me and ones where parents write notes on them too!

I have heard teachers (probably not all) say they prefer not to have anything to do with teaching.. Give her a gift card or something else.

One of the best gifts I think is a book for the classroom. A nice story book that you can read to your future students. Write a short thank you note on the inside cover so she/he will have a usefull keepsake to remind them of your daughter and your appreciation.

My son`s 1st grade teacher was retiring. I had candy bar labels made. (for the Hershey Nuggets)I went on Ebay and found some. (real cheap less than 2 dollars for 30) I had her name and the dates she started and stopped teaching and a sweet little message. I tied these in a see through gift bag and tied a pretty bow on it. I also bought a personalized name poem (from Ebay) She loved them. I have seen her since, she talked about how she saved the little wrappers. (She wouldn`t let her hubby eat the chocolates either.) :)

Gift cards for coffee, bookstore, dinner, etc... A friend of mine was give a bottle of alcohol which she loved. I`d feel weird about giving the teacher alcohol though unless I knew him/her very well.

I found a nice poem about teachers and printed it on pretty paper with matting and put it in a frame. I wrote on the back the date and our childs name and a little thank you note. I think in all I spent $12.00 Candles are also good I`ve heard.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
