Ever since I came back, I've been crazy busy. My Master's Classes will finally be finished (HOORAY!!) at the end of this month and the workload for these two courses I'm in has been insane. Plus, I've been trying to get in to my new classroom as much as possible. Oh, and did I mention that my husband and I bought a new car? It's the perfect size to haul school supplies to my new classroom! :)
Well, another week begins in my life after space camp (LASC). I truly feel like a kid missing all of the fantastic people I met while there. But...life must go on! Ever since I came back, I've been crazy busy. My Master's Classes will finally be finished (HOORAY!!) at the end of this month and the workload for these two courses I'm in has been insane. Plus, I've been trying to get in to my new classroom as much as possible. Oh, and did I mention that my husband and I bought a new car? It's the perfect size to haul school supplies to my new classroom! :) Today I'm linking up with The Applicious Teacher to share some ideas about homework! Last year, when I was at the middle school level, I used my No Homework Binder to help keep kiddos accountable (this became my most famous blog entry to date from my old blog). Basically, when a kiddo didn't have their assignment, they would fill out the assignment name, date, and the reason the assignment was incomplete in their page in the binder. The pages were organized by class hour. Then, when I entered in grades, I entered the student's reason for in completion in the comments section of my grade book. This system was fantastic, but as the year went on, students forgot to fill in the binder more times than not, and then I had to track them down.

We did the binder in fifth grade at one point too - but it was hard to see a pattern at times and kids would "forget" to sign... what we found works out really well is having the kids fill out a little half sheet stating that they were missing an assignment. It's usually on bright colored paper - I have an example on my blog. We call it a receipt. I just keep them on my desk - so I know who I'm missing work from and the assignment. I also have a spot on my board that lists everyone with missing work - that's for the kids mostly. I let them erase their name when they turn it in. The receipts are also great for conferences because you can physically show parents how many assignments they were missing and/or late and the "reasons" why. It's good for accountability. They have to turn something in - either a receipt with reason or the homework.

La ragione popolarità di <a href="http://www.ristorante.milano.it">ristorante milano</a> è che essi presentano i pasti nel modo più fantasioso e creativo possibile. Ogni piatto è come un'opera d'arte per chef italiani. Sono gli unici ristoranti che producono le pizze da 20 pollici, che hanno respirato varie verdure diverse, frutti di mare, le spezie e carni che non si sarebbe nemmeno pensare di combinare.
