Gift Guide for the Hardworking Teacher

She is your child’s best friend. She teaches him the ABCs and guides him about proper manners. While smoothing over fights among the little ones is part of her everyday routine, she never fails to give you a smile when you fetch your child in the afternoon. How does she do it? We don’t know. All we know is that our child’s teacher is one of the fine people on top of our list this Christmas!
