Colored Homework Packets

Help me give my students colored homework paper to keep the weeks organized.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopes's classroom raised $297

This project is fully funded

My Project

Colored homework packets help separate the weeks. Young 6 and 7 year old students can figure out the "lift-off lemon" colored paper packet is due this Monday. Kids can separate the weeks and look for and organize which one to turn in.

Color coding the week's homework helps students be more successful in staying on task and keeping up their homework.

Everyone has a sense of moving together through the week. The students are learning to move it along.

Both first grades will benefit and share from these homework packets creating a strong team for many kids to build a great foundation for their successful future! We have tried this before and it is working nicely. It's a simple and good idea.
