Re-Post: Stuff Teachers Like

Sorry friends, no confessions today. (Although, you should know that Sam somehow managed to open and eat an entire carton of blackberries in the grocery cart yesterday; I casually browsed the store like an idiot while my son sat absolutely covered in berries.  Awesome.)  Anyway...


Instead, in the spirit of school being almost out for break, I am re-posting this oldie but goodie from 2010 (with a few minor changes) to aid in your shopping for teacher gifts this year.  Hope you enjoy!


Stuff Teachers Like
 #1. Embroidered and emblazoned sweaters and vest for EVERY occasion


#2. Apples (Especially of the "this has been in the bottom of my book bag for six days" variety)

#3. Smiley Face Stickers

#4. Motivational Posters
#5. Red Pens

#6. Rubber stamps with super corny slogans


#7. Rolling crates/suitcases/etc.
#8. Denim Jumpers

#9. "#1 Teacher" Goodies
#10. Cut-out letters and ANYTHING bulletin board worthy
Teachers, what did I forget??
Clarification: The above items are STEREOTYPES and actually NOT desirable for most modern-day teachers.  (Except for maybe #1, I always a feel a little "under dressed" around the holidays.)

If you really want to know...
  1. I get super giddy about gift-certificates (Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.)
  2. I desperately could use things for my classroom --- mechanical pencils, colored paper, cute post-its, etc.  (My husband swears we don't "break even" on my expenses until about May.)
  3. Plants and flowers are WONDERFUL
  4. And, honestly, the best gift you could give me would be a simple THANK YOU - in email or letter form.  We really get a lot of negatives and very few positives from parents. 
Finally, a friendly reminder... Don't forget the high school teachers!  We love your kids too! :)

P.S. If you haven't entered my Get & Giveaway, do it here.

P.S.S. Don't forget to check back tomorrow for a special guest post from my friend Jessica on her experience with hyperemesis gravidarum/ Kate Middleton's pregnancy condition.

  8. There are many different kinds of tools and techniques required to deliver an exceptional SEO India results.

    Once the number of back links will increase, web traffic flow will enhance.
    It's a competitive world out there on the world-wide web, but SEO consulting can help you dramatically improve your odds of being found in the din and getting your message across. Naturally, they will flock to your competitor who does. If you simply copy the original manufacturer's description, you don't add value to your product and you certainly don't add your personal touch that can make you stand out from your competitors.
    Enough said. Social networking Optimization Websites which include Facebook
    and You - Tube could be the latest examples of
    how "personal" websites can be appropriated for business.
    When SEO services are working for you, you should always be
    ready to capitalise on innovations and fresh marketing opportunities.
    Isn't that something you and your business should be a part of. For those of us who are using the internet to make money, we all know that it is absolutely essential to get visitors out to our websites. organic search, frequency of blog posts, frequency of on-page optimization, the relative importance of links, the use of social media, the best way to measure results, etc. For instance, how many TV viewers then came to your car lot and purchased a vehicle. Now even that is quickly defining point of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can lead to intense discussions about the meaning and purpose of SEO. You can Google maps link for your website, which will be very helpful if any person search in images sections. Learn from other people's mistakes and
    experiences rather than destroying your own skills and wasting your time on experiments.
    A well-formed internal linking structure and
    good sitemap can ensure all pages of a website
    being indexed by a search engine. Have you been looking at your competitor's websites to see what kind of keywords they're using.
    Once someone clicks on your site, they should see
    tons of unique informative content. The content must complement the theme of the website design.
    This is more of an indirect way of getting direct traffic to your e - Bay
    store.

    NOW, I don't mean you should just put keyword spam in your footer. If the conversion is higher with a certain keyword or a particular set of keywords, then the SEO vendor can focus on the same keyword to get it ranked high in all the search engines. Domain Authority is influenced by:. There are many tools online to help you research relevant keywords, such as the Google Adwords Keyword Tool.

Numerous SEO services over competitive price for outsourcing your site online, but, would it be best to hire the locals if the nature of your business limits to your local as well. Thus, if your charges are overly cheap, this might cause doubts and worries from their mines regarding the quality of the service they get.

    Why. In fact, soon, not using RDFa could put a
    site at a disadvantage. SEO content is a huge deal in today's online oriented business world. The website serves as a way for customers to find the business and be able to see what services are offered. This is more of an indirect way of getting direct traffic to your e - Bay store.

  22. In December, I actually post a request on my website asking parents to purchase class wish list items instead of whatever gift they were thinking of. At my school, I have to supply my own ink and paper. Of course, as you can guess, I pretty much have to buy everything for my classroom. I had to purchase my own LCD projector this year, actually. Needless to say, these classroom supplies were a true blessing. I got so much paper that I still have some this year!
