First Day of First Grade Student Gifts

As I was setting up my classroom this week, I looked at the other done classrooms and noticed they had little bags on the students’ desk for first day gifts.  Ahh, I totally forgot to get first day gifts.  Back when I started teaching, no one even thought of giving gifts.  Now, it seems to be the trend.  I figure giving the kiddos a gift might ease some of their first day anxiety and it is not going to be much effort on my part.  I ran to Target and Michaels and snagged these clearance items.  I am only going to give out the balls for my first day gift, but I thought I would give you some options.  I know that I cannot pass up a deal!  I will save the dog erasers for Valentine’s Day or the prize box.

Shopping List:

Michaels – Chevron Bags: clearance for  $0.39

Michaels – Buckets: clearance for $0.39

Target – Dog Erasers clearance 2 for $1

Target – Flashing Ball: clearance for $.70

Target – Clear Bags $2
