Teachers-end of the yr gifts?

Do you buy each of your kids a gift for the end of school? Every year I do something different, I'm not sure what I'm going to do this year. I saw beach balls from oriental trading and I thought that might be cute if I gave them one all blown up and the class could sign it with a sharpee. It may be too late to order though. ANy ideas?

I have no money, so I'm getting the class an ice cream cake.

Let's see, yes I buy them a gift, my aides get gifts and my daughters babysitter gets a gift. Now I really feels like Christmas in June. It's all good though.

I am buying them bagels for a breakfast and I bought them water bottles and wrote their names on them. I got 4 for $2 at Walgreens. I do it every year and the kids love them- especially the last week of school when it's hot!! (I gave it to them Friday)

I went overboard this year- I bought them beach buckets and wrote their names on them. Then, I got a bunch of stuff from the dollar store (sunglasses, bubbles, toys, ect.) to put in them.

No, we are having a pizza party today instead of gifts.

Re: Teachers-end of the yr gifts?

I will be buying the food (pizza probably) for our party. I was thinking next year that I wanted to do a lot more with photography, so at the end of next year I may make them CDs with the photos we take over the course of the year.
