I’m super excited about my holiday gifts for my students this year! No, they aren’t anything fancy. They are, however, cheap, easy and cute! Oh, and the presents are {kinda} for me as well! I’m sharing my gift idea as part of 3rd Grade Thoughts’ linky party:
I bought each of my students 3 pencils and a candy cane. So simple, right?? Practical for the classroom as well, since I hear “I don’t have a pencilll…” at least 72 times a day.
It cost me less than $10 for a class of 24 students. I bought a large box of pencils and used elastic bands to keep them together with the candy cane. Then I covered up the elastic band with ribbon and added my cutesy {ok, maybe corny} tags. I love them!
While I was in the creative mood, I whipped up some thank you cards as well! The truth is that I went to purchase some Christmas/thank you cards at Target and, man, they are expensive! I figured it would be a lot cheaper to just make some cards to print that fit in envelopes that I already had. Ta-da!
Now, I just need to write the actual notes! My kids have already given me some wonderful gifts so I need to get going!
