Have you had issues with boxes not being returned? Or pieces missing? I love this idea but I worry about not getting them back and wasting my time and money.

Hi Alison!

I rotate through. So I just make one box and eventually each child receives it 🙂

Does every student get the same task or do you rotate them through?

I asked my parents at Back to School night which they would prefer: Monday to Friday or Friday to Friday and they picked Monday to Friday, which is easier for me too. I got my boxes at Staples for a $1 at back to school time.

In reply to Kaylee. Hello, Kaylee! Thanks so much for your kind words! They have worked out great! I send one box home to each student. There are enough that they each get a turn with each box once! They go home on Monday and are returned on Friday. My grade level partner sends them home on Friday and they're returned the following Friday, so parents have a weekend to "get it done!" Hope that helps :)

Hey Molly,

I love this idea! I have never seen homework buckets like this before.
I see you have a list to mange who gets which bucket. I was just wondering how often do you send them? Does Each student get one or do they alternate? DO you have the students keep them for one for week or just one for night?

Thank You for the brilliant idea!
