Second Story Window - Review & Giveaway

Have you heard of "Second Story Window"? Well if not, you are in for a treat. Second Story Window is the brain child of 2 wonderful sisters from right here in Utah, and they have some ahhh-mazing products in their TPT store. Today I am reviewing the brand-spankin-new 1st grade homework pack from them. (I teach 2nd grade, and they have TONS of 2nd grade resources too... Because they were 2nd grade teachers...But so many 1st and 3rd grade teachers loved their 2nd grade products that after many requests, they began making products for all of those teachers too!)

 

I don't know about you, but homework is something I struggle with... It's hard to have a consistent homework routine when things don't always go as planned from day to day. The math program I use does provide homework pages, but we can't always complete a lesson every single day, and sometimes the homework is confusing, so homework becomes frustrating and ineffective. That's what is so great about the homework packs from second story window. Take a look at some of these pages:

The packet is designed to be copied front to back then cut in half.... So it's just a simple half-sheet of homework every day. You can read more about their homework routine here. The packet comes with 100 days’ worth of homework.... If you want even more homework, there's an add-on pack that you can buy here.

I love this homework because all I have to do is copy, cut, and I'm ready to go. It doesn't matter if we get through the math lesson or not... It's a simple, consistent, half-sheet of paper that goes home every day. I photocopied it on colored paper so it's easily identifiable in students' backpacks each day. Parents know to look for either a gray "go math" page or a green "half-sheet" homework as I call it. The next morning as students are turning in their homework, I have a check off sheet that they mark so I can quickly see who has turned in their homework and who hasn't.... And for those who haven't turned in their homework, I have a few extra copies of the half-sheet ready for them to complete during 1st recess.
