Today was the first day of homework in 5th grade! We had a really great conversation about how it would work and your kiddos were really excited. No, really–they were! The new format is around a menu, and there are many choices that they will be able to make as they practice what we’re doing in class. Here’s the Homework Menu for this week: Homework Menu 8-31 to 9-1 Exciting times ahead!

Now THAT’s homework I wouldn’t mind tackling! Very cool, Mrs. B!
So glad! It was so great to hear and see their positive reactions to it today! Someone even said to me: “You should hear all the people saying how they’re actually EXCITED to do their homework.” Very cool, indeed. Love the opportunity for ownership and choice. 🙂
