The parents get the assignment sheets on Friday and sign and return them to me on Monday. This way, the parents are aware of any missed assignments. I list the complete day's assignments on the chalkboard before school begins. When the students arrive, they copy the assignments in their agendas. At the end of the day, we spend a few minutes checking off those assignments we have completed.
Any incomplete assignment is circled and becomes homework.
I make sure all homework is packed to go home. Parents have been instructed to sign agendas each night, so they will see what work needs to be done. Steve Mills, Greensburg, IN I check my students' assignment books before they leave to make sure they have ALL of the assignments written down. Their parents must sign their books each night, allowing them to check their child's work and progress. If they refuse to do it, I call up the principal.
