Teachers are very important in our lives.They teach us knowledge and tell us how to be a good person.And what will you give to you teachers when the Teachers` Day comes?This article will give you some good ideas:

     1. Every first year teacher needs a copy of the book First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher. The husband and wife team of Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T. Wong wrote this practical book. These authors have thought of everything the first year teacher might be concerned about and have organized solutions into a helpful guide. It’s a must read for all teachers; the first year teacher will continue to use it a resource year after year.

     2. Any teacher you talk with will tell you that they wish they had recorded more of their adventures during their career. The first year teacher on your list needs a lined journal in which to record funny anecdotes, struggles and victories, or notes of reflection.

     3. Most first year teachers are surprised by the amount of meetings, staff developments, parent conferences, etc. that take place throughout the year. The first year teacher needs a calendar or a PDA to keep track of all of their commitments.

     4. Late nights and early mornings are synonymous with a first year teacher’s life. Between lesson planning, building relationships with students and parents, and grading papers, first year teachers burn the candle at both ends. The first year teacher on your list needs gift cards to coffee shops so that they may stay awake throughout the year.

     5. Although teachers can write off up to $250 on classroom supply expenses throughout the year, any first year teacher will tell you they spent at least double that amount. Find a local teacher supply store and purchase a gift card in any dollar amount. Literally, a first year teacher appreciates any dollar amount! Read more »
