Answer 1

How about this:

Now that you’re retiring

We can tell you how we feel;

Our heartfelt admiration

Is deeply felt and real.

You’ve been a great role model

For teachers and each kid;

You showed us how to be

In everything you did.

We’ll miss your fine example;

We’ll miss the things you gave;

Our pleasant memories of you

We’ll recall and carefully save.

We wish for your retirement

The best of all your days;

May you discover sweet fulfillment

In new and rewarding ways.

Answer 2

Well a plaque is cute, and it could say something along the lines of    Changing lives one year at a time for 30 years......

or something similar, but I bet a more treasured gift would be a class book. Have each child do a page, leaving a small place for his or her school photo. Have them laminated and bound, and have the cover be a class photo taken out on the playground or under a tree, and have the title be something like, "Second Graders of Today...Graduating Class of 2018"

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you mean by a verse.

My mother is a second grade teacher who is retiring in June after teaching for 38 years. Her favorite gifts are books created by the kids and a tote bag that the kids each drew a butterfly on and parents wrote a butterfly poem. Anything personal and created by the kids is the best!

Her least favorite gifts are things like "Best Teacher" mugs and school bus earrings and other silly teacher JUNK.
