Print out pictures of their fav cartoon characters for them to use as pictures. \n\nHave them include their birthdays on it. \n\nMake sure that there are big spaces for each day that way they can write what they want.

People who are good at teaching usually care a great deal about it.  I'm betting that the two things that would bring her the most pleasure are:\n1) to know you are going to be the same kind of teacher she is; and \n2) to know you'll remember her as someone who formed you to the teacher you're becoming.\n\nSo the question is, how do you pack that in gift wrap?  Some ideas:\n--have something made that she can keep on her desk or in her office, to remind her that you think she's great.  A silver star engraved with a personal thankyou.  A desk nameplate engraved with her favorite saying (my favorite teacher's saying was "look for the entertainment value!" which got me through a lot of tough times.) Maybe get a good photo of her and have an artist turn it into a pastel or drawing of her, and sign it with an affectionate thank-you.\n--Write her a letter, (on paper, in handwriting!) to thank her.  Give at least two concrete examples of what makes her an outstanding teacher and how that helped you or formed your values or your skills.\n--Find a way to honor her publicly.  Write a letter to the Dean of Faculty or to the local newspaper, describing what she does and what value it has to their community and to the world--a generation of better teachers is a fantastic gift to the world.  Have a party for a few of her students, present and past, who feel as you do, to honor her.\n\nTeachers live for the priceless moments when they are reminded that despite the grind of the daily work, they really are changing the world.  You can give her one of those moments.  Lucky you!

Do NOT focus on the fact that she's Japanese when buying a present. It's like assuming that since you're American you only eat fast food. \n\nFor a teacher you should find a pretty figurine, a snow globe, or something that would look good on a desk... Maybe you can get a nice pen engraved with her name or a thank you message.\n\nWhatever you get make sure to write a well thought out thank you note and wrap the gift with plenty of care.\n\nThe gift isn't actually as important as the thought behind it.

yo if i were still in preschool and had the same teachers i had they would probaly love some chocolate to relax after a long day of working with little kids and also take them out for a evening of food, shopping and spas and all that other girl stuff that females love doing.  OR you don't even have to take them out you can give them a gift card or something to get all the things listed above done by themselves or if you wanna go to the extreme offer to sub for them and then let them take a day off. and oh give them a childrens book and tell your children  to let them know (the teachers)  what they have learned from them.

Maybe some nice soap would be good, maybe socks?  Your idea sounds great, I'm just trying to add some other thoughts.  I think it so hard to know what they may need, but probably they could use many daily items.\n\nIt's wonderful that you are sending the presents. We, as the regular people of the US, need to reach out in friendship to Afghans and Iraqis.

Food. Offer breakfast or something to have students meet their mentor over breakfast. Then have them pair up and do a scavenger hunt around the school (the first team to find all of the locations wins something). Make it a competetion and offer food...that always seems to get my students into it.

The best presents for school age kids (4-10) are arts and crafts. There are so many project kits and freestyle materials that the possibilities are endless.  It keeps them busy and keeps them thinking and then at the end they have a work of art.

You could get them all valentines, the cards that have messages on them.  Then you could also give them some of those disgusting candy hearts that say "Be Mine" and "True Love" and stuff like that.

Take them on an outing. Go outside with them and have a scavenger hunt of things that show how the beauty of Fall reflects God's love! Have them find colorful leaves, acorns, animals, holly bushes, observe the  Fall sky, describe the feel and smell of the air. ( Use adjectives!)  Give them a sheet to take with them that tells them things to look for, smell, and feel etc. When they get back to class they must draw a picture of what they observed, felt, etc and write about it.

You could get her a copy of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. It's fun and very encouraging. Traditionally it's a gift for graduation but it kind of sends the message that you're very proud of her accomplishment.

Every teacher I've ever spoken to says that the best gifts are not store-bought, but created by the child with sentiments from his or her heart.  Could your son write his teacher a letter telling him about what he learned and maybe what his favorite memories of the school year are?  A poem or drawing would be good too...anything that lets the teacher know how much his work is appreciated.  It's a tough job!

Have them weave small Easter baskets out of strips of construction paper. Then they can fill it with some Easter grass and other goodies.
