(speaking as a former teacher) Gift certificates to a local teacher supply store or a bookstore are always appreciated. Teachers spend so much of their own money on supplies, and they really don't make much.
This reminds me that I still need to get Rachel's teacher something. Our school has a sheet outside each teacher's door with their favorite things (restaurants, drinks, snacks, etc) and home decorating color schemes. Makes it easy for buying if you don't want to go the gift card route. You might ask one of the other teachers on that grade level, or the school secretary and see if there's anything that the teacher really enjoys.
