What kind of Homework will children love at their 1st and 2nd grade ?

Answer 1

CROSSWORD PUZZELES

Answer 2

I teach grade 2 and surprisingly most of my my kids want homework. They want to show off how much they know - they learn so fast and at that age and are full of confidence and pride in all the new things they can do.
Also bringing in things to help with class work - they feel grown up and responsible when they can contribute to their own lessons.
I often give homeworks that are just more practice of class work - never anything new or tricky, only little things so I know they have really got the hang of the work - or not as the case may be. I need to know that they have understood and homework is one way of finding out.
My class loved colouring by numbers (I make my own and add maths e.g 11+ 13= blue and have parts of the picture that add up to "blue", the sums matching the progress of their classwork -multiplication, division etc)
I also use boring worksheets from coursework books when they can't be avoided.
As much as possible I'd have drawing as some part of it e.g making simple illustrated crosswords.
Learning spelling can't and should't be avoided.
For creative writing I'd make up story sheets that had space for writing and a picture - "Imagine what it would be like if you were invisible for a day", "What would you do and where would you go if you had a magic carpet?".
Towards the end of grade 2 when the kids skills and confidence in all subjects had increased, we made up homework together - they set the story or the sums or chose the spelling words, even making the worksheets up on the computer.
I'd always have a gallery area in the class room for homework so it just didn't disappear and get forgotten.
All homework lasts no longer than 10 minutes per subject, but the more they wanted, the more I gave them.

When I was at school I did not even get homework until I was 11 years old - lucky me. When I became a teacher I did not want to set homework, but I had no choice. That's life.

Answer 3

Spelling more than anything. Reading as well. They become bored quickly, so when they have to read the same story a couple of days in a row, they whine about it. The secret is keeping them challenged. If you think you have a gifted child, ask the school to test them. If they are, get them in gifted class and they will remain challenged and stop that infernal whining over repetitious work.

Answer 4

I did spelling most. Then reading. We had rainbow words were we would have like 5-10 vocab words each week and she would give us a sheet with all of them and we would have to write them twice using two different colors and at the end of the week we would have a test.

Answer 5

i think something which they enjoy and do not burden them so that they are completing it(and that to when forced by parents) at the last moments.i think the homework should contain something like painting and colouring for the little kideez,something creative like collecting different types of leaves and flowers(how many possible) and something which can later on change into thier hobbies.
