Sending home homework can be a pain and in the past has taken me DAYS to put together! One of the worst feelings is taking days upon days to put together summer homework packets and parents throwing them out because they are too difficult, take too much time or they didn’t want them in the first place! Here are my 5 tips to sending home homework that will actually be used! Send home a note 6 weeks before school ends asking the parents if they want homework. I recommend sending this note home twice (around 6 weeks AND 4 weeks before the end of school). Download my FREE note here. If the parents are truly interested in summer homework, they will send the note back. Put together an easy and user friendly packet. If it’s too difficult to understand or complete, it won’t be done! Make the activities quick! Summer activities should be less than 10 minutes 3-5 times/week. Allow for vacations & be flexible. Send homework that allows for vacations or off weeks! MAKE IT FUN! Who wants to sit and do boring homework over the summer?! I have found that by using the five steps above, my students have come back with completed homework that […]
