Mr. Murakami can overcome the issue of his students claiming not to have received a note or losing it by adopting some of the following strategies:

1. Digital Distribution: He could send the motivational quotes digitally via email, a classroom management app, or a messaging platform. This way, students can always go back and find the message if they lose it.

2. Classroom Display: Instead of individual notes, Mr. Murakami could create a 'Quote of the Day' board in a prominent place in the classroom where he writes or posts a new motivational quote each day for everyone to see.

3. Personal Journals: Mr. Murakami could encourage students to keep a personal journal and hand out the quotes during a class session for students to paste or write in their journals.

4. Class Website or Blog: Creating a class website or blog where daily or weekly motivational quotes are posted could also be effective. Students can visit the site anytime to see the quotes.

5. Social Media: If appropriate and with school and parental permission, he could use a class social media account to post the motivational quotes.

6. Laminated Cards: He could also give out durable, laminated cards with motivational quotes that are less likely to be damaged or lost.

By choosing one or a combination of these methods, Mr. Murakami can ensure that his students will always have access to the motivational messages, even if they miss out on the original note or lose it.
