Frog Family Fun Homework Games
All the language arts essential standards are included in the game format. ADDITIONAL supporting information is included as an attachment in last years grant.
The games provide systematic daily review of concepts taught in the classroom. Parents and children enjoy the game format which encourageds a positive homework environment.
Parent surveys are sent out twice a year to gage sucess from the parent perspective. Classroom teachers expect to see the level of profieciency in basic skills improve over time. Sucess is also measured by the eagerness the children show in response to taking home a new game each week.
This research based program has proven positive results. We sucessfully used the program during the 2010-11 school year. It meet with positive reviews from parents and children. Each set provides a 24 week program in a game format for 24 students. The kits provide pratice in language arts ranging from pre-first grade to second grade, differentiating for student needs in a classroom. The program is completely bi-lingual allowing both English and Spanish speaking parents to be actively involved in the program.
We would like a way to have homework in our grade level to be some what "standard". We all do things differently and have special subjects (science/social studies) introduced differently. This would be one area that we could be doing the same thing.
