Checking Planners
By only4Him

I call the student's name, they say "hot" or "cold" and at that time bring their planner to me with all their work assigned the day before. If they have it signed, I give them a stamp. If not, I circle it and they get one
day's grace to get it signed without a penalty. I also check their work at this time by collecting it in piles by subject. I can see immediately if they are missing anything, and if so I stamp their planner with a late stamp/parent signature by the work that is missing. This system has worked well for me. It takes about 15 min. of my morning time, but I have assignments the kids work on

while they are waiting their turn (writing in the planner, D.O.L., D.O.G., cursive practice). It is well worth it because kids know that they can't get by without turning work in - I catch it right away. 8-)
