7. Aha Moments

You have to get a chuckle out of teacher thank-you notes that end like the one from Carolyn O's student: "When you teach it feels like I'm not learning anything, but once you get done teaching, I realize I have learned something. You are a better teacher than you think."

Other notes make us sad for last days, like this note to third-grade teacher Ashley S.: "I will miss you more than anything!"

27. The Unexpected

Sometimes you keep teacher thank-you notes not because of the eloquence but because of who they're from. Take this note Nikki Campbell received from one of her difficult students: "Thanks for keeping me unrotton."

There are teacher thank you notes that tell us how our students view our jobs. Melissa M. got a kick out of this note: "What I'm trying to say is that you know that saying that goes: 'A teacher learns as much from her student as she taught them.' I think that if that's true, you must have learned thousands of things from us because you taught us so many things."

Notes can show us how students see us. Who doesn't want to be seen like Nelida H.'s student saw her? "You look like a princess when you teach."
