My favorite gift was a picture that one of my students drew for me. They are always so proud of their work, and I always display them proudly!

My favorite V-day gift was a homemade card titled "Teacher's Report Card".. it had hearts all over it and she graded me in areas like math, language arts, reading (which I got an A+ in all of them) but then she also put niceness A+ and meanness "doesn't exist"...how cute is that?!?

I got a little heart box last week with chocolates, marbles, a plastic pony,and a pack of gum. It definitely defined a child's loving gift.

A favorite all-time gift was received from a student of mine and his family naming me their all-time favorite teacher. We had a special bond together - you see - when he came into my classroom, AJ never talked. All he did was grunt for things he wanted. He was ASD along with other diagnosed things which didn't matter to me. To me, he was a boy, a boy with a mouth, a voice and a voice that needed to be heard - LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!! And with years of working together, we accomplished just that. On Christmas, two years ago, I created a book for him to read. I video taped him reading to his Mom and made it into a movie. It was awesome. Something to treasure. So, on Valentines Day, when I look at this plaque, I not only think of AJ but of OUR accomplishment together.....It surely was a great journey together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet memory!
Deletemy favorite are cake balls that a mom of mine makes! her daughter, my student, knows I love them!

My favorite gift was a stuffed monkey a student gave me to go with my classroom decor.
ReplyDeleteMy classroom theme is frogs. It's so cute how your students pay attention to what you like. I had a student one year who's mother came in and said that they were at the store and her child saw a Valentine frog and just HAD to get it for me. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteI got the cutest little decorative cabinet from a special family. I think of them fondly when I see that gift.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift came from a former student. The teacher in the grade above had her kids write letters to a previous teacher. My student thanked me for helping her learn to read. :) Sue
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift from my students are the hand made cards of course!! They are soo cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it when they are all there for our class party...that is gift enough for me! We always have an ice cream party for Valentines Day =O)
ReplyDeleteI got a "diamond" watch one year from the cutest little boy. He told me he "Bought it" at the AM/PM! ( Later found out his brother has stolen it!) When I found our & took it back...the owner thought it was SOOO funny, he let me keep it! I wore it for a long time....just so he knew I was watching him! He turned out to be a really neat & caring young man...:)You never know! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year teaching and I am Disney obsessed. One of my kiddos brought me a tin of chocolates with Minnie and Mickey on it. So precious! :) breannesimons@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe best gift I received was a construction paper heart that was faded and covered with stickers and simply said, "I Love You." It was simple but precious!

I guess my most memorable would have to be the big bouquet of red silk roses with dew drop on them. The little boy who brought them was so proud when he handed them to me. I still have them as part of my housekeeping area. My kinders love pretending with them.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be a box of chocolates from a local chocolate factory and I had never had them before because I was new to the area. I also got some Cheryl's cookies once. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was a little stuffed dog that a student gave me during student teaching. It clearly was used and was his, but he gave it to me! I felt so special and I still have it almost 6 years later! :)
ReplyDeleteMy best gift was a hair clip. It was my first year teaching, and this little girl was so sweet, but came from a very underprivileged family.. she brought me this little hair clip... rusted...that she had painted with polka dots, my favorite. Such a sweet gesture & nothing has ever made me feel quite that loved. :)

Anything handmade is my favorite!!!! And sweets don't hurt either!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards the kids make me. They work so hard to write nicely. And of course the chocolate!
ReplyDeleteIt's all great because they are showing how much I mean to them. I hope I model that for them daily, because they are all pretty special too!
ReplyDeleteI love the love letters from my kids....and candy or jewelry are always a plus...lol
ReplyDeleteThis was my first year teaching at Valentine's day, and I loved the chocolate!

One of my students made all of her cards on white lined notebook paper. She and her mom did it since they don't have a lot of $$$$. The pride on her face when she handed them out was priceless!!!!

I can't think of anything crazy but yesterday they were making me hilarious valentines from "the sky" and "the clouds". Bryn
ReplyDeleteI love all of the homemade cards! One gift that really stands out to me was a few years ago one little boy brought me a heart shaped plate with cookies on it, but underneath all of the cookies was a plate that was personalized. It said...The Jaquillard Family. How sweet for this little boy and his family to think of me and my family on Valentine's Day.

Favorite Valentine's gift from a child - that's a hard one because I teach in a small rural area where most of our kids receive a free lunch......so I'll have to say a dirty stuffed animal from a child's house. It was very well loved. I did manage later to get the child to take it back to her/his house by saying it was lonely at my house and needed to get back with her friends. It worked. I just couldn't take a child's toy.

Today I had many students from my first class drop off valentines. I was so touched that they were still thinking of me years later.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine gift was an owl mug to go with my owl themed classroom.

My fav gift was good, old-fashioned cards made by my students!!

I've only been through one year of valentines when I was student teaching last year. My favorite was a glittered heart on construction paper. Lost glitter ALL over though.
ReplyDeleteI worked in a poverty school and one of my students brought me a dirty, ratty, stuffed bear. She was so excited to give it to me! I found out later, from her mom, that it was her most favorite stuffed animal. That meant so much to me.

Favorite gift were roses made out of Hershey's Kisses!
ReplyDeleteFlower in the shape of the student's handprint with a poem pasted on it!
ReplyDeleteI homeschool and we don't celebrate Valentines day
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite students (oops...they are ALL my favorites) made a little clay figure of me sitting, reading a book! I love it!!

One of my favorites was a locket with the student's picture inside. His card explained that he knew I loved him so much, I'd want to have him with me all the time! So adorable - I'm so glad he felt loved and special in my class. I wear it each year on Valentine's Day!

I got a fake red rose this year. The boy informed me that he got me a fake one so i could look at it all the time and think of him. =) So sweet!!!

I love all the handmade cards and pictures, but one year this little girl made me a card and she wrote, "You are just like a mom but funnier." I just had to laugh.
ReplyDeleteHandmade Valentine cards with handprints turned flower bouquet were the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteThePolishedTeacher
I had a student this year bring a store bought card with a beatiful poem in it. What makes this my favorite was what sshe wrote in it. She wrote that she thanked god becuase he put her in my class.

I seldom get gifts and received none this year! I don't know what it is about special education, but sped teachers don't seem to be thought of when it comes to gift giving. My favorite thing I received though about 3 years ago was a set from bath and body works.

The best gift I received from a student was a Valentine that said I was the best teacher ever and that I was like their mom and they didn't want to leave me. This was from a former student but it really tugged at my heart.
