Teachers like to welcome children into their room with a cheerful sign. A wooden sign that is unique to the teacher, or has a special message painted on it, will add a memorable touch to the classroom door. Wooden plaques with poems about a teacher's gift for teaching or his goal to make a difference will remind the teacher each day how important his job is.
Wooden name plates help new children remember a teacher's name and give her desk a personal look. Wooden note holders, pencil holders and desk organizers help keep her desk neat. A wooden perpetual calendar is a gift that will last throughout many years. A teacher will cherish a keepsake box made to hold memorabilia or a special book. Wooden baskets in various sizes give teachers a place to put a variety of items, even next to the desk on the floor. Stackable wooden file and document holders will keep homework and other papers in an organized stack.
Wooden pointers help teachers highlight parts of a lesson as they teach. Erasers and chalks or whiteboard markers will always be easy to find when kept in a wooden holder close to each board in the room. An ornament tree will allow teachers to display ornaments throughout the school year, rather than having to pack them away. Decorated bookends give bookshelves and table surfaces a fancy look.
Teachers appreciate little gifts made by their students. Wooden craft sticks make long-lasting bookmarks. Large pieces of wood are suitable for hand-crafted picture frames. Wooden blocks can be painted to spell out a teacher's name, then glued together in a line or stacked. Small wooden shapes can be painted and used for ornaments, plant pokes or magnets.
Teachers can always use a wooden step stool to reach a book on a top shelf or hang children's artwork from the ceiling. A small stool for the teacher to easily move from one child's desk to another will aid him as he gives personal help to students during tests or paperwork times. Wooden storage boxes serve a multitude of needs for a teacher with a classroom of students, books and many teaching items. A shelf placed in a convenient spot on a wall will help teachers keep extra chalks, tissues or books where they can easily retrieve them.
