At the end of every class during wrap up I like to talk about what exciting things we will be doing/learning the next day. Then I encourage the students to "do a great job" at work that night as it all relates back to our overall learning. It makes a connection to the students that everything they are doing can be used to contribute to their learning.

I try hard to learn every student's name by the end of day three. I must read over there names 50 times before the end of day one. It's great to send the students off for their first weekend during your class and inspire them by showing you care enough to get to know them before the end of the week.
