Well... I can tell you what might NOT be a good gift... any of those
quirky phrase books about being a teacher.
I'd get her whatever you would normally get her; its kinda early to be
thinking about getting her anything for the classroom. That can happen
in her Junior and Senior years when she's going out into classrooms.
Unless she's going to work as a teacher's assistant or something while
she's in college now?
When I started teaching, what I wanted most was office supplies! My
father's graduation gift to me was deferred until I actually started in
my classroom. Then, he took me to Staples, Zany Brainy, and a teacher
supply store, and bought me what I wanted up to $25 in each store. Of
course, I worked in the inner city... your mileage may vary in this
area. However, in my current public school I still went to Staples and
spent at least $250 when I started teaching. Again, however, by this
point I have specific tools for specific activities: colored 2 pocket
paper folders, colored file folders, card stock, 2x4 shipping labels.

Hey guys -
Got a kinda off-topic question for ya.
My niece is graduating high school in a couple weeks. She's going to college
to be a teacher. What would be a good graduation gift for her?
Thanx for any help
