positive anxiety?
 
So i'm making my teacher a gift bag. Some of the items include: Letter, poem, 2 expo markers, a folder, blank paper, frog fidget, globe squishy, a pencil, 11 reasons she's my favorite teacher, and probably some other things I forgot to list. I'm having a bit of anxiety about her reaction to it, because last year when I did it for another teacher, she quite literally cried. This is how last year went
Me: "hi Mrs. H, I have something for you" Hands gift bag
Her: "Oh you didn't have to honey!"
Me: "I know I didn't" *chuckles as she takes the bag*
Her: *turns around and wipes tears in her eyes
MY FRIEND LATER: So Mrs. H was crying this morning in homeroom, what was that about?
Me: I gave her a bag of gifts...
My friend: oop~
SO YEAH- LETS HOPE MRS. M GOES A BIT BETTER THIS YEAR...I have to see her in an hour and tenish minutes so yeah. That's gonna go so well...I gotta keep telling myself that(though inside I"m screaming I shouldn't do it because she may not like it but she loved the bracelet I made her so why wouldn't she like the gift bag???) RAH RAH RAHHH

Good luck with all of this and I hope that you will be okay soon.

I think it’s a lovely idea and I bet the teacher you gave one to last year cried because she was happy to receive the gift bag? I’m pretty sure her crying wasn’t a negative thing. I’m sure your teacher will like the gift bag and gifts . It’s a lovely idea and a lovely thing to do.

Well. I got in trouble with the school for giving it lol. apparently teachers aren't "supposed to accept gifts like that" like dude I've done it before and nobody said anything.

Yeah, that's definitely a policy at a lot of schools. Some have a blanket "no gift" policy and others have a "no gift that costs more than $x" policy. Maybe next time you can try and make her just the handmade things like the letter or a handmade card instead, if that's allowed? Since it has no monetary value they may be more willing to allow that.

Yeah, didn't realize that most schools have that, since I've done it before. But I did make her a bracelet before this all happened so even if she can't keep what I gave her she at least has the bracelet I made her.
