It's Saturday and I am motivated!
Did that convince you? I bet not!
But, I did receive some good news when I returned to work yesterday.
Check out my Homework Banner Motivation Board!!!!
TWO classes reached the goal!!!
The interesting fact here, is that the other classes now want to reach it!!!
Remember, this is from Joanne's blog, she introduced this here.
I adapted it to individual banners because it started off bad, but those work GREAT!!
I have students fill those in on a daily basis. Students receive a free homework pass when they fill their banner and start a new one.
Now, they are trying to figure out what they want for their reward. My idea was a week free of homework. They want food! We are in negotiations.
I know, once again, this is not something new. Sorry for that. I will try and be more original next week.
Don't forget to check out the original ideas over at Joanne's blog today!
And don't forget there is a sale going on at TpT. Lots of sellers have their products on sale. My products will be 20% off until Monday night!
Ahhh...homework. The constant teacher struggle. I have decided this year to really cut back on homework -- no worksheets, just nightly reading. It has made a huge difference in the stress levels (both mine and my students) and the kids are still learning. I might have to stick with this plan...
