Good morning, friends! We are knee-deep in all things HOLIDAY! I'm wrapping up (literally) my Christmas to-do list this weekend. On Friday, I stayed after school to assemble my kids' Christmas presents and I thought I'd share what I am giving this group of kids. Each year, I try to think of something simple and thoughtful that doesn't break the bank. Teachers spend enough on their classrooms/students throughout the year! This year, I wanted my budget to be between $30-$40. I was able to make that happen!
Scholastic Book: "How to Catch a Gingerbread Man"--I used my bonus points, which I save throughout the year to get these for free.
Pencils and Erasers: Purchased two sets of each from The Dollar Tree.
Gingerbread Erasers: These were leftover from a Kindergarten Crate subscription.
Snowman Soup Hot Chocolate Bags: Purchased a bulk box of Swiss Miss from Costco last year and had plenty extra for this year's class, as well. Marshmallows were around $1.50. I only needed one bag. Mini candy canes were around $3.00. You can find free labels on TPT; just search "Snowman Soup Tags."
Christmas Plush: Grabbed these at The Dollar Tree. My teammate gave them to her students last year and I thought they were so cute. At $1.25 each x 20, they were my biggest expense.
In years past, I've done Holiday Tic-Tac-Toe Boards with holiday mini erasers as the game pieces. I've also given homemade crayons, trinket/treat bags, coloring books, personalized bookmarks, and personalized, homemade dry erase boards.
Please know that whatever you decide to give your students, they will love!!
