Beginning today, January 13 all six of my classes will be participating in a homework competition. The competition is simple. Students will have the opportunity to win in both writing and reading. The challenge is to have 100% completion of homework. That means every student in the class must complete their homework 10 days in a row to earn a reward. The first class to complete homework 10 days in a row at 100% will earn reward.
Some rewards that are possible to earn are brownies, donuts, cupcakes, a McDonald's run by the teacher (where the students provide the $), or 1/2 hour of extra recess during class. Hopefully this challenge will help the horrible homework situation that all of my classes seem to be in. Ask your son or daughter if they are up to date on their homework. Last week alone I gave out 42 zeros for citizenship in responsibility/homework. This is not an option. Homework must be completed when assigned. Many students will be very disappointed when they see their citizenship grade at progress reports. Citizenship grades can hold a student off the basketball team. Please help to encourage your son/daughter.
