Question

write a thank you note to your teacher for allowing you to submit the project by one week late​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 A handwritten thank you note or letter

2 A “thank you” in person

3 A small trinket for their desk

4 A gift card (Starbucks, Amazon, local restaurants, etc.)

5 Invite them to the high school graduation party for your student

6 Invite them to your college graduation party

A combination of these methods can be used. For example, you can send a note with a small gift. The thank-you can come from a parent or from the student.

Also, the teacher may not have a preference for how they are thanked. If you know a certain teacher loves thank-you notes, then send them a handwritten thank you.

Do not get hung up on the method and let figuring out which way to thank become a barrier that prevents you from saying thank you at all. If you don’t want to handwrite a thank you note then please email them or tell them in person! The point here is that the teacher is getting thanked one way or another.

Note: Gifts are nice and perhaps easier to do than writing a thank you note or coming up with the words to say in person. Some teachers are much more likely to remember your words, then what gift you gave them. A teacher once told me:

A gift is probably more special at Christmas or at the end of the year. A note at any time is a wonderful. Though nice, gifts do not give you that “this makes it all worthwhile” feeling like a touching note does. So, each has its own place, I would say. I certainly remember notes more in the long run than gift cards!
