One of my favorite ways to connect with students i One of my favorite ways to connect with students is through a handwritten note. I print a set of these at the beginning of the year, address one to each student, and add a stamp. Each week during the school year I add a personal note to 2-3 cards and drop it in the mail. Once I have sent a card I print a new set and start again. It is such an easy way to encourage students. Have you tried this before?
