I'm extremely excited to begin this blogging adventure as Styling and Profiling in 2nd! This is my third year teaching 2nd grade and I have to say I'm still changing stuff daily! One of my favorite things I have implemented in my classroom is the HW Club! During my first year and half of my second year of teaching, I was noticing that the students weren't bringing back their homework. As I could have sent them to the HW table to complete it, I didn't really like doing that because I usually reviewed their homework in class, so they weren't being held accountable.
I was going over my students homework one day and it was like a light bulb went off! I had an empty bulletin board just staring me in the face, so I decided to make the HW Club right then! I teach both math and reading so I knew I needed to include both classes. I found two sets of reward sticker charts, added the students names, and explained the rules right then!
Every time the students return their homework, they receive a sticker and add it to their homework chart. This way the students are held accountable for returning their homework or not returning their homework. Once their sticker chart is full they receive a homework pass for One Night of NO Homework and a new sticker chart!
There has been a huge success rate with the return of their homework! The students get excited to put their sticker on their charts and get really disappointed when they don't receive a sticker.
Here is a picture of my current board right now!! You can see that some students have already received their 2nd chart!
