Who organized the flower project? Was it done by students themselves, the administrators, or the PTA? And who paid for it?<BR/><BR/>Kiri8, I would kill for free coffee! I wish my school would put in enough thought to get something I'd actually want and use. I guess because I put a lot of time and effort into gift giving, I expect as much from others (which admittedly isn't always fair).Mr. Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06960561773050547167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685403469183555837.post-91069022756292741952008-05-11T18:27:00.000-05:002008-05-11T18:27:00.000-05:00Last Thursday all the students in our school arrived with bouquets of flowers. They spent the first part of the morning going around to all their teachers and giving them a flower. I came home with about three dozen flowers, a thank you from most of my students, and even a couple of hugs. All in all a pretty good day.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04454838353498233230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685403469183555837.post-60189235722440730692008-05-10T09:10:00.000-05:002008-05-10T09:10:00.000-05:00On Friday our parents made us breakfast before school. That was wonderful. My favorite gifts of all, however, are gift certificates for the coffee shops in the neighborhood; I rely on coffee and love it when I don't have to pay for it!kiri8http://kiri8.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685403469183555837.post-40703208951169912522008-05-07T21:55:00.000-05:002008-05-07T21:55:00.000-05:00I don't mind anything given to me by students--it's the stuff that the district and/or school comes up with.<BR/><BR/>Today we did receive lunch, which was certainly appreciated (especially since I had forgotten to bring anything and had no money at all). I also got two genuine "Thank you for being my teacher!" remarks from students. That was worth more than anything.Mr. Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06960561773050547167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685403469183555837.post-1427635676529024572008-05-07T15:51:00.000-05:002008-05-07T15:51:00.000-05:00Hey listen- I LIKE my Sequined Apple Pins and "Number One Teacher Mugs!

Now, younger teachers in our family are receiving the same kind of stuff. I always preferred a hand written thank you note, a good lunch, and a piece of chocolate.Bettyhttp://bettyb.teacherlingo.comnoreply@blogger.com
