I blogged awhile ago about my implementation of homework folders. I was very excited about them, and thanks to a week of snow days was able to develop some for my artic kids as well.
Now, I knew sending them out into the big blue yonder would not necessarily yield results. I am now getting a few back and realizing that only about half of my students actually did them (of course, the ones who really could have benefited most from them did not do any of them). My favorite conversation came today with one of my first graders:
Me: "Oh, wow C, you did all 12 of the activities when you really only had to do 4! That's great!"
C: "We ran out of time."
Me: "What do you mean you ran out of time?"
C: "We ran out of time to do them, so my mom just signed all of them."
Great, thanks.
