I liked the days when I received homemade ornaments,pins or such from students. I have many still hanging on my tree from my years of teaching. I, as others have stated, really enjoy getting notes from parents so I can really know that my actions as their children's teacher makes a difference in their children's lives. I agree with another poster that the best a teacher can receive is a note or a letter from the student themselves. I have my stash of those from over the years and when I get to feeling like a fast food career might have been a better choice, I get those out and read them. They truly are the gift that keeps on giving and I will take those letters and cards over a "Spa Day" certificate (or the like) any day, hands down!
