Should I buy her a present? I don't want to do anything huge or spend a lot of money, but I want to make a big deal out of it. What's bigger than starting chumash?

when I taught first grade, one mother that really stood out for me was the mother that came to the performance with flowers for her daughter. than after took the child out for just mommy and me time to a resturant of the childs choice. where the mom talked to the daughter about how she felt starting chumash and made a whole to do. for weeks all the kid could talk about was how mommy made a chumash party and learned chumash and it was such a huge deal to this child. this child didnt come from a big family and the mom was always doing things one and one ubt I think the fact that the mother made a big tada of how it was when the mom got the chumash was what made an impression on the child and than on me.
