@mshell44 Love that too Thanks for joining #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: purposeful and targeted homework allows Ss the opportunity to extend and/or re-enforce learning. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 #3rdchat A1: The answer 2 this ? hinges on the definition of homework. If it means more work after a full day of learning forget it

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@spiraledu Hi, so glad you're here #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 #3rdchat You're very welcome - of course :-)

@MrsPug1 Yes, not over and over though. My best friend's held up for a long time! I remember hers being the sturdiest. #3rdchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1- Ideally, homework helps to reinforce concepts being taught/learned in classroom setting. Ps get idea of learning taking place. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Extra practice, Ps get an idea of what is going on #3rdchat

mrsjmitchell3 Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: to reinforce learning #3rdchat

smozer Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Some kids need an assignment to force them to read and if they don't read... #3rdchat https://t.co/oA2xZbj2y2

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@StantonAlana #3rdchat I thought it was great too until I learned how much radiation astronauts are exposed to. No thanks :-)

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1- first year of unhomework..kids are reading more😁 #3rdchat

spiraledu Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#3rdchat HW should connect learning between school & at home, can be extra practice or extension of something they enjoyed

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Truly not a fan of it. #3rdchat https://t.co/UNRs9sVWRn

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat Feel the same. So much of how kids learn is by interacting w/their environments. They need 2 decompress, digest & play.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Sounds like this group might answer Q2 easier #3rdchat https://t.co/C7LRuQD0cw

#3rdchat https://t.co/gKtjbBkiaf

MrsKendallBerry Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Trying no homework but have many things posted on google classroom and kids are wanting to do that at home. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 Ss build a work ethic outside of classroom. A way of learning responsibility. Encourage Ss to want to learn more on own. #3rdchat

spiraledu Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#3rdchat I don't assign HW but if they love a book or are working on geniushour projects that they want to finish, I encourage them to! ;)

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Ps are confused. Stress, tired children. Takes from family time. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#3rdchat A1: Let's take "work" out of it & make it home play. Let kids decompress, digest & integrate what they leanred by living & playing

MrsKendallBerry Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Drawbacks is me having to look at it or kids didn't put effort because they think I was checking #3rdchat

hillaggie93 Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: We use homework for extra practice when we have to move to a new unit. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I don't think this really happens. I think this is a bit of a myth. #3rdchat https://t.co/fICbWUQmql

A1 Ss build a work ethic outside of classroom. A way of learning responsibility. Encourage Ss to want to learn more on own. #3rdchat

StantonAlana Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 students have trouble processing the days learning. They need to decompress. It also takes time away from their family. Vital. #3rdchat

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

What is Q2? #3rdchat

StantonAlana Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2b sometimes we say we need to prepare them for another grade. No they are in this grade now. Prepare them for their age #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@spiraledu #3rdchat See now that makes sense. They are interested, engaged and WANT to continue to learn.

spiraledu Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#3rdchat I don't like traditional HW because too many papers to keep track of! Hard for S & T to keep track of & accountability!

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Time for extracurricular activities. Ss can relax and recharge. Ss engage in own interests. #3rdchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Some Ss have little help at home, perhaps due to language, preventing skill support. Incorrect practice isn't helpful for growth. #3rdchat

smozer Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q2: Evidence supports that too much homework has a reverse effect on students. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: If they WANT to extend their learning, they will. It won't be because I assigned homework. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Frustration from S and P, Ts giving "busy" that may/may not help Ss ultimately in the classroom, taking away from down time #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: when hmwk becomes a requirement that isn't aligned with growth, when it is graded or assessed based on completion. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

#3rdchat What is Q2?

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Hi #3rdchat! Popping in late, I have a sick little one that I had to get settled into bed

hillaggie93 Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: a drawback of HW is using up family time, so we try to make sure it isn't too much #3rdchat

Hi #3rdchat! Popping in late, I have a sick little one that I had to get settled into bed

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat I say bc it is still required in 👆grades/college. I don't give HW but Ss will face the responsibility of it one day.#3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#3rdchat Please tell me when kids' time became so scheduled! I spent hours outside under the bushes looking a bugs & listening 2 birds.

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat I disagree. I'm thinking in middle/high school it really does help build responsibility, not at our level though #3rdchat

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#3rdchat The ongoing pressure to perform aside, I believe humans need to be in nature to stay healthy. Time reflecting and BEING are vital.

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat me too! Temp at school was 101. She has a sore throat too. Praying it's not strep! 😬#3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@mshell44 Weird, it was doing that with me too but then the tweet showed up. Can you see it now? #3rdchat

MrsFollett Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2: S not doing it or parent doing it! Work not meaningful for the S! #3rdchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3- I use homework calendars, but I'm upfront that it may not be every night. Biggest HW is for Ss and Ps to read together. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Q3: Is there a way for homework to reach all learners? #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@mleonard03 glad she didn't have HW tonight! 😉 #3rdchat

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2- not all students have same advantage at home. Not all Students can be held accountable for situations they have no control .#3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Are they now showing up? #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

#3rdchat A2: Our edu system seems to forget that time is needed to reflect, digest & integrate information in order to really learn it.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: I think the success of ANY activity at home goes back to the parents (at our Ss age). So hard to say for ALL #3rdchat

MrsFollett Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: S have a voice or a choice in what they are doing the homework on. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Yours do, but not when I retweet it #3rdchat https://t.co/L5hB3lxDsY

@MrsFollett #3rdchat When I coached HS soccer, I'd sometimes catch the students copying each other's HW 😩

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@MrsFollett My daughter had final exam that was HW. Had 2 copy info out of book or look it up. She asked herself what is she lrng. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

#3rdchat A3L Why would U want to reach all Ss with HW? How about suggestions or ideas to ponder & then come back 2 talk about the next day?

smozer Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: We ended last year with homework as passion projects. Work completed was outstanding because based on interest and choice. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@mrsjmitchell3 #3rdchat Yes, Yes, YES!

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@StantonAlana @micronmike #3rdchat See you soon!

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3. Maybe differentiated HW that focuses on areas of weakness for each S? Not sure if the - outweight the + there still, though #3rdchat

#3rdchat https://t.co/UFmtDhgwqK

@MrsPug1 @MrsFollett #3rdchat I would have been angry for her. What a waste of time.

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Still thinking about making a wonder board in my classroom. Like the idea of taking ideas home to ponder 🤔 #3rdchat https://t.co/JKqvXdTz73

#3rdchat A3L Why would U want to reach all Ss with HW? How about suggestions or ideas to ponder & then come back 2 talk about the next day?

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@StantonAlana #3rdchat That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me today. Thank you. If I'm good 4 them, they are equally wonderful 4 me!

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat @MrsFollett I was honestly shocked by the assignment. Could've been something more engaging. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@mleonard03 You should do wonder boxes...they love those and can carry them. I had a Ss keeps her from 3rd and bring to college. #3rdchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3- ...opens so many doors. #3rdchat

spiraledu Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Send home geniushour projects for home! #3rdchat Each can interpret at their level

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3- Love outside the box activities as well that allow for Ss to get creative in various ways. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@mleonard03 #3rdchat 1 thing I've done & will try again in NPHCBlogIt = Idea spark jar. Kids write down ideas & dreams & put in jar to share

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Wonder Boxes go with teaching Ss to ask questions and be curious. They collect their wonders in a box. #3rdchat https://t.co/RBcunwxItJ

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat @mleonard03 what is it

LoftonVicki Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@spiraledu I love this idea. Ss working on areas of interest, completing a project, finishing up a book. Relevant and purposeful. #3rdchat

mrsjmitchell3 Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: we ask Ss to read at night -- that gives student choice and meets their needs at their personal level. No logs-just enjoyment #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@mshell44 Weird! #3rdchat

Q4: Is there a certain age when it becomes beneficial? Why ? #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@mshell44 @FirstAtBat wonder boards are where Ss can post things they wonder about, or T can post q for Ss to ponder/discuss #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

With a book, the Wise Woman and Her Secret it is from Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller #3rdchat https://t.co/KJugNbclel

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

I started a reading journal for HW. I love the benefits! But I'm having a hard time getting some of them to complete it at all! #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@spiraledu my daughter did this in pre-k and loved it! #3rdchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@mleonard03 @mshell44 @FirstAtBat Had a "thinking wall" where Ss could post thoughts and ideas about the learning w/ my gr. 2 Ss. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@mleonard03 #3rdchat In NPHCBlogIt We will choose ideas from 1 another's jars to share & use as part of creative activity each week (6 wks)

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Beginning to think no. Older students have so much: jobs, sports. Turns into late nights, more stress. It should be balanced. #3rdchat

mshell44 Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Gnite all... exhausted from hurricane clean up.. first day back after 5 days off #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4. MEANINGFUL hw at middle/high helps builds study/work habits needed for college and beyond. It has to be done right, though #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

I like box vs wall because it is portable. They can carry it everywhere, and wonder happens everywhere #3rdchat

@MrsAlligood13 Can they write about whatever they want (about story) or is there a certain Q you ask? #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

I agree. Not what I hear it looks like now. #3rdchat https://t.co/bSZq8LwuFM

A4. MEANINGFUL hw at middle/high helps builds study/work habits needed for college and beyond. It has to be done right, though #3rdchat

@jazzmeister2013 @mrsjmitchell3 @EpicKidsBooks us too! So much great reading time, both in class and at home! #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 There is a list of ?s in the journal they can pick from that fits what their reading. Got the ?s from @FirstAtBat :) #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@mshell44 Wow!! Best wishes for a smooth recovery and week back with Ss! Thanks for joining! #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 I tell them to STRIVE for 20 mins of reading, 5 minutes of writing. 25 minutes of HW total. #3rdchat

JenaiaMorane Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

#3rdchat PLS tell me why we feel need 2 direct EVERY single moment of Ss' lives? Do we think they're lazy, irresponsible, will fall behind?

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MrsAlligood13 Even as adults we have to balance responsibilities with pleasure. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Mine don't all do it either. As I said, in elementary it goes back to parental expectations. #3rdchat https://t.co/zGQ6ugWvoI

@MrsPug1 Definitely agree! It just has to be meaningful in that it helps build that responsibility. Copying doesn't do that. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Definitely needs to be a shift in thinking at the upper levels to help #3rdchat

@smozer a Wow! 1 1/2- 2 1/2 for high school?? How do they work or do other activities, like have a life? #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Very true. It just feels like the ones that really need it are the ones that aren't doing it. :( #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@LoftonVicki @mshell44 @FirstAtBat So true! #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Q5: How can HW encourage future success? #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 @smozer That does seem like a lot. I feel like I had about 1 hr of HW every other night in HS. #3rdchat

LoftonVicki Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 When school gets out at 2 there probably is time but schools near me are changing to later start times. It's a challenge. #3rdchat

They want an audience when they write. I get that. It has to be authentic, not just a task they have to do. #3rdchat https://t.co/Z1hq48VNwr

A5. At our level, reading is esp. impt for future sucess. If it focuses on that, HW can do a lot for a S. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrsAlligood13 @FirstAtBat Do u ever respond? Did journals b4 & would write back 2 Ss. Took time but engaging. #relationships #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6; I like to send home questions for Ps. I just want them to talk and listen to their children talk about the learning. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 @FirstAtBat Yes! but I've only done it once, trying to do it more often. Check them every day #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6 Reading 2gether, maybe a family response journal or blogging. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I send home Monday, collect Friday. It gives me time to read and write in them. #3rdchat https://t.co/4ifqrgoBru

Ps sometimes don't understand the work thus fear it. they should use the opportunity to ask their child to teach THEM! #3rdchat

@FirstAtBat Yes! Time to discuss learning and "ah-ha" moments of the day. Maybe will spark further exploration at home. #3rdchat

#3rdchat Design tasks to be completed with families like interviews or history reflections "where were you when..."
