I am linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for the Monday Made It kick off. Love this linky.
My made-it for today is my class homework/newsletter that goes home weekly.
I found this idea from Amanda at Teaching Maddeness and loved it! I switched my entire homework system mid-year and couldn't be happier. I revamped the entire sheet this week and love the new look! This paper goes home on Monday and comes back on Friday. I don't check any homework other than the signature and I have a student total up the checkmarks.
On the left side are the skills (some of them) we wil be learning for the week. On the right is our word work. Our district adopted the Reading Wonders program and we will start in the fall. The program has three spelling levels, so each list was added. On the bottom is our Teamwork Homework. It is so much fun! The students put checkmarks each time they complete an activity. A student totals up the checkmarks and if we reach a certain number then the students earn STEM activity time. They love it!
That is all for now. Have a fabulous Monday~
Oh if I could get organized enough to do a newsletter! Love this! Thank you so much for linking up today;)
