A Letter To My Students

I have previously blogged about my goals for this year and how motivating and encouraging my students is important to me. This year I want to focus on teaching my students to persevere when they struggle.  I have a lot of motivational and encouraging posters to put up on my walls.  But this year I wanted something for them to put in their Interactive Math Notebook.  I wanted something for them to have with them all the time. After a lot of Pinteresting and getting ideas, my idea finally came to fruition.  :o)

Here is a copy of the letter I am giving my students... This will be the first page in their Interactive Math Notebook.... It will be the first thing they see every time they open their notes...
