Put the items in a baggie and attach this poem:

Dear (Student's Name)
You are a star in my class
It's OK to make mistakes; that's how we learn
You are going to learn so much this year
Everyone needs a hug - let me know if you need one
I'm nuts about having you in my class.
From, (Teacher's signature)
