I never have. Totally optional I reckon. My DD1 has only shown an interest this year at the end of year 1. She did transition and two years of preschool before that and has never been interested before.
What the heck do they mean 'not named'?
The un named thing is so that the teachers don't have to spend hours handing out the right card to the right child. It can have the name of the child it is from but not a specific name for the "to". If that makes sense.
I am reassured that not doing them won't make me and my son a social outcast.
I wouldn't like the unnamed thing. the point of doing them (for us) is to chat to dd about what she did this year with that specific child, what message she would like to give them.
