j.j I teach lower elementary so it hasn't felt super necessary but I'm worried they might complain. I think I'll give out some fun reinforcement activities for class points and not for grade credit. Esp. since a lot of my kids don't have much support at home so it doesn't seem fair.

Plus they're in class for 7 hours a day! Let them have a break and a chance to be kids.

Graded homework is a great way to reinforce and expand classroom learning when the material conditions at home allow for academic success.

If a child doesn’t have a learning environment at home then homework is just going to be a burden. OP is doing a great thing by giving their students nongraded homework. It’s good practice for the students to find a place/time at home to do a fun, low stakes activity at home.
