Typical
teacher gifts are given by many children with the best of intentions. These
might include tree ornaments, fruit, other food gifts, and even figurines in
glass or ceramic. Teachers appreciate these as they are given to the teacher by
the child with great affection, but most of these end up in a closet because
they have no place to put them. This year, whether you are buying holiday gifts
or end of the school year thank you gifts to show appreciation to a teacher,
think about giving something more meaningful, like the gift of charity. Not
only are these appreciated, they can also be an opportunity to teach the entire
class about giving back.
Charity
gift cards are the ultimate way to show appreciate when choosing teacher gifts.
These can be purchased, personalized, and then given to the teacher. Once the
teacher has the card, they can the go online and choose where they want that
money to go. Teachers often go into teaching because they want to help shape the
world, starting from the bottom up. They can be very charity minded. However,
because they don't make a lot of money for what they do, they may not have the
means to give as often as they wish they could. These teacher gifts of charity
allow them to do just that.
Not only
can they give to charity with these teacher gifts, they can also teach their
class a bit about giving as well. They can explain what charity is, what it
means to the world, and what they can do to help. Teachers can even offer up a
scenario in which each child has a certain amount of money to give. What would
each child choose to do with that money? Why did they choose the cause they
chose? Parents can also talk about this with the child as they go online to
order the charity gift cards. The answer children come up with can surprise and
inspire.
Some
teachers may even share their own experience with these teacher gifts with
their class. They can talk to their class about why they choose a particular
charity and what that charity means to them. Teachers can also talk about other
ways to give back when money is tight. Giving is about money but also about
time. The younger children learn about giving the stronger the message becomes
over time. If they understand that even small donation make a difference, they
won't feel as if they have nothing to give, as many people on limited budgets
feel.
