Homework Expectations
Homework at the kindergarten level is supposed to be short, sweet, and relevant to what we are learning in class. I will be sending home homework 2-3 times a week. At this level, I will not punish or scold any student for not doing or not returning their homework. Rather, to instill good habits in them at a young age, I would like to reward those students who DO complete their homework. We have a homework incentive. Each student has a reward chart like this one. I give the students a sticker for their chart every time they return their homework in a timely manner. When they complete a colored pencil with stickers, they will get a small prize. As they fill up the rest of the pencils, they will receive a progressively bigger prize each time. I hope that the extra practice they are doing will help solidify the concepts that we are learning together in class and will help them make connections to everyday life!
