I had 99% of my students bringing them in! If they bring it in, they get to choose something from the treasure chest. They don’t have to complete the tasks in order and it is optional whether or not they return their completed calendar. Students check off the activities as they complete them.
Therefore, I started giving my prek and Kindergarten students a monthly homework calendar.Įach day the task is a hands-on, interactive activity that is done with an adult. This includes applying and reinforcing skills they are learning at school in everyday situations. Children should be given time outside of school to have experiences that help them grow, develop, and have fun with real-life experiences. Working parents are stressed when they get home late, have dinner to prepare, lunches to make, clothes to wash, extracurricular activities etc. However, my opinion (and one that parents LOVED) was for students to be children first and enjoy the short time they have with their families during the week. Here are some ideas for math or language no-prep sheets if you would like to use this method.Īll of this is fine and everyone has their own ways and beliefs about what homework should look like. That way if students had soccer practice or dance class during the week, they didn’t have to be pressured to complete the work that day. Students had the entire week and weekend to complete the packet. One method that parents seemed to like was making a packet of one math and one literature/phonics worksheet per day for Monday-Friday. Also, over the years I have assigned homework in many different formats. I have formed this opinion after reading a plethora of research on the effectiveness of homework. I would like to give you MY opinion about homework. Either you are really for it, or you hate it! There are a lot of conversations and research both for and against homework. Do you ever hear the word “homework”(especially for Prek and Kindergarten) and wonder what the right thing to do is? Most people have strong feelings about homework.
