In my class, reading and math homework follows a simple weekly pattern. Each week, when homework is due, students use the reading and math homework tracking sheets to record the completion and return of homework assignments to the classroom. I update the sheet quarterly to reflect the weekly due dates. Students color boxes green to show on-time assignments.Red denotes a late assignment. Tracking sheets become part of our quarterly portfolios and students use them to reflect on their performance and to set goals for the coming quarter. Tracking sheets are also shared with parents when communicating about missing homework and student responsibility.
