Looking for ways to get students to actually do their homework? This veteran teacher designed a nifty homework tracker for her students—and then made using it part of her classroom culture. 📝 Download a template here: edut.to/4i151Ua #EduSky #MiddleSchoolTeacher
The Tarea (Homework) Tracker, with a four-column table clearly labeled with the date an assignment was given, a brief description of said assignment, its due date, and the date turned in and grade received.

Students are strengthening their English by writing about objects, properties, and materials. Each takes a turn at the board as we refine their sentences together. It’s incredible to see newcomers expand their vocabulary and express ideas more effectively. ❤️

While practicing listening for the middle sound, the word was "vote." Out of nowhere, a student who rarely speaks in full sentences in English said: 💬 "I confuse vote, boat, boot." Oh. My. Gosh. What a funny derailment! 😂 What a perfect lesson in phonics—totally unplanned, but so meaningful! 🥹
