Last year was my first year teaching, and I think one of the biggest challenges (among many) for me was being able to keep track of students who were missing work due to being absent. There is just so much going on these days. I found this really cute idea from Pinterest on creating homework help folders, she even has the print out for you! I used this idea and created 6 of them. Since I teach a seperate math class, I wanted to have 3 for my homeroom, and 3 for my math class.
Each table is assigned a helper to help students that are absent that day. These students are responsible for grabbing a homework folder and placing all missed work in the folder. That folder will be placed into the students desk for completion the following day they return. I typically allow until the end of the week depending on the assignment we did.
This is a great way to stay organized, keep parents informed, and students responsible for their work. We will see how this goes!
