This unique 1st grade homework solution provides the perfect solution to traditional 1st grade math homework and 1st grade ELA homework. Say goodbye to ELA & math worksheet packets and hello to a world where students can finally look forward to homework time!
Here’s the deal – traditional homework is developmentally inappropriate – students need a chance to be kids. Students spend 7+ hours a day at school. Once their family is home and everyone is done with after-school activities, it often leaves them with very little time together.
Why UnHomework?
UnHomework gives families flexibility – complete choices on your own time. Busy week? Complete less. More free time? Do them all!
UnHomework gives families accessibility and empowerment – not all family members have the tools, educational or language background to support students at home. UnHomework is simplified, requires no background knowledge, and requires little to no tools.
UnHomework gives students more time to be kids – more time to run around and play outside, plus the UnHomework choices themselves are play-based and hands-on.
UnHomework gives teachers more time to teach – no more grading homework “for completion,” making rushed trips to the copier, or frantically stapling together last-minute packets.
How To Use UnHomework
The UnHomework Choice System is incredibly easy to integrate into your classroom routine. Here’s how:
- Every week, assign 1 new page of UnHomework. Each page has 5 choices for students to complete throughout the week.
- Students choose to do any, all, or none of the weekly choices. For every choice that is completed, students fill out a raffle ticket (attached to the bottom of the weekly UnHomework page)
- Raffle tickets are entered into a weekly class drawing for prizes! The more choices completed, the better a student’s chance of winning.
