Back to school is approaching quickly and it’s time to start thinking about welcoming a brand new set of students! If you are anything like me, I want the students to have a small gift to make them feel welcomed and to know that I am very excited to be their teacher. First day jitters can be a very real thing and it’s nice for the students to have a small surprise. Student gifts don’t have to be elaborate or expensive.
