Do your students use your class word wall to the f Do your students use your class word wall to the fullest? Mine don't! It always used to start out well, but as the year goes on and the wall got more and more crowded the words became so hard to see that they were useless.

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?
