My school has followed this model for two years and I LOVE it! No more fighting over whether they have done it. No more worrying about them or their parents not understanding it. My kids read for enjoyment for at least 20 minutes each night and they work on the honor system. I haven't had any problems because the stress of the other homework is gone. :)<br />Alison<br /><a href="http://www.rockinandlovinlearnin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin'</a>Alison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065765384167803536.post-7427825449381846412014-03-18T18:03:36.651-07:002014-03-18T18:03:36.651-07:00I am SO with you, Ana!

It is such a reflection of our students' home lives and is so sad. :( We keep track of students who owe work in our departmentalized 4th grade with a "Homework Stars" bulletin board. I have blogged about it if you search my name and Homework Stars. Every month we have an incentive party for students who turn in their work on time for the month. I love your ideas and how students are in charge of their actions! I hope you see even more improvement...spring break hurry up, please! :)<br />~Holly<br /><a href="http://fourthgradeflipper.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Fourth Grade Flipper</a>Fourth Grade Flipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878854127879084534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065765384167803536.post-27536886878447578632014-03-18T17:02:53.522-07:002014-03-18T17:02:53.522-07:00Hello new friend. That's so fun that you work ...Hello new friend. That's so fun that you work with Jen and even cooler that you both have a blog. For homework, I create weekly packets. I actually bought them on TPT for the whole year. It starts with a fluency reading that the students repeat three times during the week followed by three pages of comprehension related to the passage. It is handed out on Monday and due on Friday. We correct it in class and I check off the fluency. If they don't have their homework they get kicked out of our homework club and get a 0. Thanks for stopping by, I am now a new follower of yours. <br />Theresa<br /><a href="http://pinkadotselementary.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Pinkadots Elementary</a><br />Pinkadots Elementaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121284692243814692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065765384167803536.post-60079613005126016342014-03-18T16:35:35.213-07:002014-03-18T16:35:35.213-07:00I have a "homework club". At the start ...I have a "homework club". At the start of each quarter I tell the kids that everyone who turns in 8 out of 9 homework assignments will earn a lunch on me. I post the names and then when a students doesn't turn an assignment in, I cross the name off (or if you use magnets it might be better.) If the assignment comes in (reasonably) late, I will reinstate the name on the club board. Everyone wants to be in the club and at the end we celebrate with a little pizza party. :)Mrs. Spangler in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137268748395471302noreply@blogger.com
