I don’t know about you, but I always like to give my students a small gift at the end of the school year. This isn’t anything big or fancy – usually things like pencils, crayons, small notebooks, small toys, or erasers. (I try to stay away from candy or food items due to health issues of several students.)
I hand these out during my last therapy session with each student, and let them choose a game or two to play as a reward for their hard work over the past school year. (I also send home this free parent handout on good apps and games for speech and language development.)
Here’s a peek at some of the gifts I am giving out this year:
I usually tend to pick up these items when they are on sale at random times during the year. I found the cute bubbles on sale at Target in their post-Valentine’s Day clearance, for example. My students love mechanical pencils, so I picked up extras at the beginning of the school year when they were on special. I found the tops and mazes in the birthday party section of Target. I’ve often had luck finding similar items at the dollar store or Oriental Trading Company online.
so cute! thanks for the freebie!
