Easy Ways to Build Student Connections
Building student connections is a MUST! There are a few easy things that I do each year to help build these positive connections right away (some even can be done before the first day of school)! See my faves below!
Magic Scratch Off Welcome Post Cards
These magic scratch off welcome postcards are editable and you are able to type in your own secret message (and place an Amazon scratch off sticker on top) for students to reveal! Perfect to send before Meet the Teacher Night!
All About Our Class Book
This is part of the Star Student pack- each student creates a page about themselves and you compile them all to create a sweet class book. Place the book in your classroom library for students to read and share over and over!
Smencil (Smelly Pencil) Birthday Gifts
These Smencil tags paired with Smencils found on Amazon are the best student birthday gift and are sure to make anyone smile!
Positive Behavior Notes
These positive behavior notes are so much fun to send home with students. I make it a goal to find 1-2 students going “above and beyond” at school and I write their name at the top of a note to send home with them.
Begin Star Student of the Week
Star Student of the Week is a time for us to learn more about each person in our classroom, and celebrate them! Read more about how this tradition works here.
