It's a necessary evil...or is it? I wich I could get my kids to buy in and know that it's not busy work or because I dislike them...but because they need to practice on their own...just like they would practice free throws before a basketball game. I teach middle school math, so there's no getting around homework. I just have to find what works and it seems to be different every year until I figure it out.<br /><br />I am a big fan of writing across the curriculum and reading is fundamental for every content area. I think your new homework plan looks amazing! Looking forward to hearing how it goes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1267444726268612049.post-14854520153756928992013-06-25T14:59:17.273-07:002013-06-25T14:59:17.273-07:00I am with you on seriously disliking homework.

Aside from reading and practicing spelling words nightly we only have "homework" on Monday- Monday Math- a math game that the kids are asked to play with a family member at some time during the week, and Wednesday Writing- where they write in their reading response journal about one book they've read (or a chapter of a book) during the week. Implmenting Daily 5 this year really helped to get my kids engaged more and they are now doing a lot more reading/writing than in the past. It's been great and has made me wonder how I can make that change in other areas too.

It was FABULOUS. There was HUGE growth this year for our kids in writing and I could really see if they understood their reading, as opposed to them just filling out a reading log. I loved it!<br /><br />I'm in 3rd now, but wish I would have thought of that when I taught 1st and 2nd!!!<br /><br />:)<br />Christina<br /><a href="http://www.bainbridgeclass.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">*BUnting, Books, and Bainbridge*</a>Christina Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706097644672521776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1267444726268612049.post-26645044777891661132013-06-20T16:27:49.492-07:002013-06-20T16:27:49.492-07:00I LOVE this idea!

I only send homework home on Mondays and it is due on Fridays. This year, I'm thinking of scrapping the whole comprehension packet (it's really easy for older siblings or time crunched parents to 'help' just a little too much when it is multiple choice) and just doing a sort of response choice board like the one you posted. Thanks for posting this to get me started on my decision making! :) <br /><br />Mrs. Thompson <br /><a href="http://adventures-inteaching.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Adventures in Teaching (A First Grade Blog)</a>Cassie Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802169828613163463noreply@blogger.com
