Homework - Weekly Homework Packet

Thinking about going to weekly homework instead of nightly? Here are some ideas from other teachers who use it that may help you!

I make a weekly homework packet that's given to the children on Monday to be returned Friday. For each of the four days, I give a language arts and math page to be completed. These can include spelling practice, phonics, grammar, etc. whatever we're working on during the week. A night's homework should take no more than fifteen or twenty minutes to complete in my district. The parents love having all week to complete the packet with their child.

I teach first grade and send home a weekly homework packet every Monday to be due back on Friday. The parents love it because it enables them to complete homework with their child when its convenient. I have a cover sheet attached which states what should be completed on each day if they desire to do it that way. :)

I send home my "homework contract" on Monday and it is due back on Friday. Students are expected to read for 15 minutes, practice spelling words for Friday's test, memorize a Bible Verse, and they have math flashcards of basic addition facts (and soon subtraction). The parents record the books read each night and initial it each night, too. This is their accountability part that they are reading the books I send home each night. Homework is only supposed to take about 30 minutes each night.

I always send handouts that I have taught by Friday or that will be taught by Monday or Tuesday, making sure that they won't need to complete those until later that week. You need to be careful about that. If it is a new spelling assignment, I model it and practice it with them on Friday of the week before.

My homework packet has a dated cover sheet with assignments listed for each day of the week, Monday through Thursday. When I speak to parents on Back to School Night, I tell them that if they are going to complete homework ahead of when its listed to be aware that the skill may not have been covered yet. You could also include homework on skills from the previous week so that doesn't happen. :)

I used to have the same problem of getting it in their folders at the last minute. With the packet, it gets done on Monday and you don't have to worry about it after that. Parents love it also. Some members of my first grade team used to do daily HW but have since switched over to the packet. They love it, too. It's worth a try, if you don't like it you can always switch back next year. :):) I think the first year I used the packet was the hardest for me. It was time consuming finding appropriate and relevant practice for the kids. Now it's much easier. I keep packets from years past in a folder and I might only have to make a few changes before copying and handing out. (Pacing and skills stay relatively the same from year to year.)

Here is what I have come up with as far as a cover sheet for my homework packet. I took one, that I believe that I found here, (I'm sorry I don't know who to give credit to) :o and I tweaked it to work for my classroom needs. What do you guys think Do you see any typos or things you'd change Thanks, because this homework packet is going to be SO NEW for me this year, but I'm excited! Thanks for all of your help (especially janicepet)

Every week I send home a list of spelling words and a home reading bag. The home reading bag has a selection of "just right" books that I expect the child to read to a family member, along with a reading log that I expect the parents to sign. At the beginning of the year I sent home a list of ways to practice spelling words and a list of ways to practice math facts. Parents and children know that we will have a spelling test every Friday, math facts tests 2-3 times per week and that I will have a book chat with each child about one of the books in their reading bag. There are no corrections or photocopies to do. I meet with children first thing in the morning to listen to them read/chat about their books, so it's an extra reading conference. For me, this systems works out great. It's quick, easy, meaningful and routine, so that everyone knows what to expect. For parents who request extra homework for their child, I give them a list of ways to respond to books and a blank journal. I tell them that I'll look at any book projects that their child does and I'll read and discuss anything that their child writes. For people who insist on math worksheets, I'll usually give them a website address with printable worksheets and invite them to print some out for their child and then to correct them together. I don't think that I'll ever do homework any other way.

This year I am sending home homework calendars. Each day has an activity that the students need to complete for that day. For example, September 3 might say, write your name 5 times, Sept. 4 might say, Draw a picture of something that starts with the letter s... This is at the kindergarten level but it could be addapted. With the calendar you can use a spiral notebook. I tell my students they need to return the work every friday.

Weekly homework works better for me. I send home a homework folder for the week on Monday. It includes spelling words, math review (I copy the Daily Math Review for M - Th), a poem to read, a reading passage with questions and a language skill. It's all review work that is reinforcing skills we are working on in the classroom - except for the spelling words which are new. Homework has to be turned in on Fridays. Parents (and students) love the weekly homework because of the flexibility with ball schedules, dance, church, etc. I do a quick check on Friday to see if it's been completed and to see if anyone is having a problem. Since I am not covering any new material and this is for reinforcement and review - I don't grade it. Works great in my classroom.

I love packets and my families have been very receptive to them. I do have them turn in spelling on Tuesday and Wednesday (3 X each in ABC order and MEANINGFUL sentences with a minimum number of words). We do a whole lot of lessons following Step Up to Writing to identify appropriate sentences. The rest of the packet is due on Fridays and a new one goes home on Friday. The packet has 2 spelling pages, and 6-8 other pages of relevant work to support class work. They also need to read for 80 mins. each week (4 X 20 mins.) and record on a log that includes a reading response and parent signature. This year I had a parent who came in religiously on Thursday afternoons to copy the packets and she returned on Friday AM to check for completion on packets, the students would then remove a few key pages that I wanted to get a close look at, the rest we would quickly correct together in a circle on the carpet with their papers in plain view. This did not even take 15 mins once a week. It held them accountable, they never knew which pages I would be collecting and their packet was checked for completion each week. I liked having the spelling due on set days so that they did not leave everything for the last minute.

Packets for Home Learning (Homework Packets)

Create your own homework packets for home learning using our free resources.

This is another free collection of resources for teachers from The Curriculum Corner

Working on creating homework packets for your students? You’ve found the perfect place to start!

As schools are moving to e-learning, we know this is not possible for many across the country. Too many families do not have the resources to fully engage in e-learning.

For teachers in schools where technology is not available, we have heard of packets being created to send home with students.

We have just updated this collection in the fall of 2020 to add in our newest resources.

While we in no way think sending home a packet of worksheets is ideal, nothing about the situation is ideal and as teachers we know to do the best we have with the circumstances we are dealt. If you must create homework packets, we wanted to give you the resources to do so.

We have worked to gather links to possible resources you can use when creating your packets.

The links below range from journal pages to math worksheets to graphic organizers.

Hopefully you will be able to find resources that will work for your students when creating your homework packets.

We have seen pictures of teachers creating pencil pouches with necessary supplies such as pencils, crayons, scissors and glue. If you have other ideas you are putting together for your students – please share your suggestions below! We know many teachers are looking for ways to help their families.

Obviously at a time like this the intent of the packets your create will not so much be learning but to keep a small sense of normalcy. Maybe students having a little exposure to academics while they are gone will also help prevent a slide backwards over the next month or so.

Click the images below to find resources to assist you in creating your homework packets:

You will find additional no prep printables focusing on word work at Cathy’s other site, Free Word Work .

If you have any free pages to share with teachers on teachers pay teachers or on your blog, please feel free to share the links in the comment section below. They must be completely free resources.

Summer Speech & Language Homework

Sending home homework can be a pain and in the past has taken me DAYS to put together!  One of the worst feelings is taking days upon days to put together summer homework packets and parents throwing them out because they are too difficult, take too much time or they didn’t want them in the first place!

Here are my 5 tips to sending home homework that will actually be used!

• Send home a note 6 weeks before school ends asking the parents if they want homework.  I recommend sending this note home twice (around 6 weeks AND 4 weeks before the end of school).   Download my FREE note here . If the parents are truly interested in summer homework, they will send the note back.
• Put together an easy and user friendly packet.  If it’s too difficult to understand or complete, it won’t be done!
• Make the activities quick!  Summer activities should be less than 10 minutes 3-5 times/week.
• Allow for vacations & be flexible.  Send homework that allows for vacations or off weeks!
• MAKE IT FUN!  Who wants to sit and do boring homework over the summer?!

I have found that by using the five steps above, my students have come back with completed homework that they are proud of!  PLUS, all of my hard work doesn’t get thrown in the trash!

Now, if you don’t have time to create your own homework or scavenge through 1,000+ homework packets on Teachers Pay Teachers, here is a list of my recommendations.

Langua ge Homework for Speech Therapy

• Includes directions to address language during six different daily routines (getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating, cooking, cleaning and playing), five different levels for each routine & parent note to explain the homework. Each level gets slightly more difficult starting at nonverbal (level 1) up to speaking in full sentences and answering difficult questions (level 5).

ARTICULATION

Articulation word lists.

• Send home one of these word lists and tell your students’ parents to practice 5 of the words per day!

Articulation Homework Flip Books

• Bundle includes 11 sounds or comes in smaller sound sets.  Includes parent letter home and 12 different phases for each sound.  Each phase includes directions, review of previous stage, new sounds to practice and 15 boxes to check off.

ARTICULATION & LANGUAGE

• Includes 2 articulation calendars, 2 language calendars, 2 ‘I Did My Homework’ charts and 1 parent letter.

I hope this makes your summer homework planning a breeze!  Do you have any tips for planning summer homework?  I would love to hear them in the comments below!

Fun & Free Letter Tracing Worksheets: Easy Print!

Looking for some free letter tracing worksheets for your homeschool student or kindergarten class?

Whether this is the first time your young children have traced the letters of the alphabet, they need to tighten up their penmanship skills, or you are just doing some review – the below practice pages are just the thing!

There are a total of 10 sheets in the printable packet that will take your little writers through the proper letter formation of all of the uppercase letters and lower case letters. 

They will start with numbered arrows to guide them through how to trace each dashed letter. Knowing the correct order to write each line is a great help in producing quality handwriting.

These no prep alphabet worksheets then progress in difficulty from dashed lines to handwriting lines to copying short sentences. 

I made some notes for each worksheet to explain the intent and the best way to teach each one to your child. 

At the bottom of the post, you will find the link to grab your digital download of all of the free printable worksheets in PDF format!

Check Out Your Free Printable Alphabet Tracing Worksheets!

This worksheet is a fun way to walk your student through exactly how to write each upper case letter – without the stress of handwriting lines!

Sit with your child and point out each of the numbers, ensuring they trace the letters in order. Some kids may resist this and want to write the letter “their way.”

It is up to you if want to enforce the correct order or follow the kid’s lead. It will just depend on the legibility of the work they’re producing.

This is a similar worksheet but with small letters. 

Go through each row of lowercase letters as your child traces. Give lots of praise and encouragement whenever possible.

As an added activity, ask the child to say the letter sound as they write. Do they know a word that starts with that sound?

Also ask the student if the lowercase version of the letter looks like the capital version. Are some similar? Or completely different?

If this is a struggle, check out these free Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Matching Worksheets !

Now the student must trace without the help of the numbers to guide them.

Keep a close eye and help them as needed. 

Watch out for students who think it’s “easy” and start to rush through the work.

Make sure they take their time. They are working on building muscle memory in their hands because those dots will not be there forever.

Here the child will trace each lowercase letter in the rows. 

When the tracing is complete, have the child color the pencils any way they want.

This worksheet allows your child to trace the uppercase and lowercase letters side by side.

This will help with letter recognition skills, handwriting, and more.

Ask your child again which letters look similar. How are those letters different?

Now that your child understands the shape of each letter, you can introduce the handwriting lines.

As the child traces, point out how the blue and black lines help guide writing.

In this printable letter tracing sheet, your child will trace all the lowercase letters on handwriting lines. 

Really stress the importance of the middle blue line and how it shows the student what size the letter should be.

Help your child practice writing on a whiteboard or another piece of paper. Ask them to ignore the middle dashed line as they write and see what happens.

This is a great way to show your kid that ignoring the handwriting lines would make many capital and lowercase letters look similar or the same.

This sheet gives the student a chance to trace the large and small letters side by side with handwriting lines to help them. 

To mix things up, the child will now use their skills to trace real sentences.

The super cute coloring images are the perfect thing to get them excited to trace!  

This last sheet takes the child from tracing a sentence to the end-state skill of being able to copy a sentence.

What a big accomplishment!

Optional Materials To Go Along With Your Letter Worksheets

1. line tracing worksheets.

Has your child shown that they can trace straight lines, horizontal lines, curvy lines, zig-zag lines, etc.?

This is a crucial skill that will make tracing letters much more enjoyable.

If you think your young learners needs a refresher, try these fun line tracing worksheets !

2. Dry Erase Pocket and Washable Dry-Erase Marker

I am a mega fan of a quality sheet protector that lets you reuse abc worksheets multiple times – especially a tracing worksheet.

This is a skill that will build with time, so going back to the same worksheet will be helpful.

Kids also really enjoy being able to wipe the page clean when they make mistakes. Much less discouraging than erasing with a pencil eraser. 

Of course, this only makes sense with washable dry erase markers . Otherwise, you’ve got marker on the table, clothes, and walls in the blink of an eye. 

3. Legit Pencil Grip

Little hands lack the fine motor skills to grip a regular pencil the way your hands do.

It is awkward and uncomfortable for them – and their work will show it. 

Help those hands out by keeping pencil grips on hand or using chunky pencils .
