The finger puppets go great with these “ EYE have no doubt that this year will be amazing” notes! These Googly Eye Fingers Puppets are so much fun! They are also perfect for students to use when they are reading to track each word! Just attach them to the “It’s going to be a SUPER year!” note and you’ll be set to go! 5. Novelty pencils, like these adorable Superhero Pencils, are always a hit with students! I’ve heard that the Dollar Tree sometimes has them in stock, which would make the gifts only a $1 a piece! I found mine on Amazon for a little bit more, but I liked that they were a keychain that students could attach to their backpack! 4. Fidget Poppersįidget Poppers are all the rage right now! If your students are obsessed with Fidget Poppers, then they’ll be so excited to find this “I’m POPPING with excitement that you are in my class this year!” note on their desk! Then, attach the the “I’m so excited to BUILD new memories with you this year!” note to the bag of building blocks! 3. While you can use regular legos, a more budget-friendly option is to grab some building blocks from the Dollar Tree. Legos are another one of those timeless toys that kids love playing with! This makes them a great gift! Wal-Mart has this awesome rainbow pack of mini play dohs that is so affordable! It has 40 mini play doughs for only $20.00 (at the time of this blog post)! That will make your gifts $0.50 per student! You can’t beat that! 2. They can also then add it to their Hands-On Challenge Kit too! You can even have students use it on the first day for a brain break or to practice making letters. You can never go wrong with play dough! Your students will love getting this “I’m so DOUGH-lighted to be your teacher” note and gift from you! It in no way affects the price point for you, but helps me continue to bring you great recommendations and keep Foxwell Forest up and running! 1. Please Note: The post contains some affiliate links which provide me a small commission should you choose to make a purchase. It’s a fun way to let students know that you are so excited to be their teacher! And also a great way to start building positive relationships with your students! The nice thing is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get meaningful gifts for your students! At the beginning of the year I love leaving a little gift on my students desk for them to find the first time they come into our classroom.
