Absent Planner

April 28, 2004

Shaneice Thomas, a third grade teacher at Ben Martin Accelerated Learning Academy in Fayetteville, North Carolina

I keep an extra homework planner at the front of the room. At the end of the day I get a responsible student with good handwriting to write down the homework for the day. When anyone is absent they know to check the absent planner, not ask the teacher. This makes them accountable and takes some of the work off of me.
