Well the message says it all, I asked my Anatomy & Physiology teacher to write me a recommendation. Considering her busy schedule with AP bio, labs and other classes and clubs, I was thankful that she accepted to write my recommendation. Now that it is written, how do I thank her for this?
<p>My daughter baked cookies for the two teachers who wrote her recs, and tucked in a little thank-you note.</p>
<p>A thank you note or card would be sufficent.</p>
<p>A sincere, hand-written thank you card is always appropriate.</p>
<p>My D got some very inexpensive books for her two teachers and GC. She works with them enough to know what subjects interested them.</p>
<p>A thank you card is fine.</p>
<p>As a former prof who wrote lots of recommendations, a sincere, hand written note that cites specifics about how a teacher has helped a student is the best thank-you. In addition to expressing appreciation for the note, it's great when students say a few words giving specifics Tabout how the teacher's instruction or mentoring made a difference in the teacher's life.</p>
<p>As one who watches my weight, I had no desire for cookies, and I also didn't want any material gifts. My best token of appreciation was a very sincere and specific thanks that I could pull out and reread during the challenging times that always come when one is a teacher who cares deeply about one's students.</p>
<p>Is it better to mail the cards or hand deliver them?</p>
<p>a note is fine.</p>
<p>my teachers were ones ive known for 3-5 years now... so i felt it right to give them a gift, it was christmastime too...
so i got my english teacher clothes for her little girl, (ive known her 5 years so it is appropriate) and my chem teacher a box of chocolates and starbucks :) I knoww he likes chocolates. </p>
<p>I also attached a handwritten thank you card.</p>
<p>Either mail or hand delivered is fine. You also can leave it in the teacher's school mailbox.</p>
<p>I wrote a card, and I check in with them from time to time (talking to them about school, college acceptances, etc) so that they won't feel that I only talk to them when I "need" something. Make sure to tell them asap when you get in, because that makes them really happy too! ;)</p>
