Anchor Chart Linky, Freebie, and Homework

Happy Monday all!  What a weekend!  It was raining, cold, and windy here in So. Cal, but I'm sure not as cold as other states across the country.  I was very proud of myself for having balanced work and my personal life this weekend.  But why does it feel like I've missed out in emails and blog news??? Oh the life of a teacher....to find balance.  I'm sure that one day I'll find it.

Anywho, as I am skimming down the blogs I follow, I came across Ms. M's Blog and was so happy to see that there is a new linking party I will very soon be part of.  The title says it all... "Anchor Chart Linky Party!"  I've been so motivated to create cute centers by all you wonderful teachers and I'm in serious need of anchor chart creativity.  So tomorrow, I will try my best to create an anchor chart that will go well with this FREEBIE...the Sentence Center!

{Click HERE for FREEBIE!}

Center includes: Arranging words into sentences, identifying subjects & predicates,  sorting complete & incomplete sentences. 

I am actually selling this center on TPT, but because blogging has been my inspiration, I decided that it should be free here.  SO, if you are new to my blog, I only ask that you follow me and say "hi" to (I promise to say "hi" back :) For my 18 friends, I would love to hear from you as well.  This week I will work on more centers I'm planning to post as FREEBIES and others I am not, so keep an eye out for those.

And now, for the last thought of the day.  I'm really struggling to motivate one of my students to turn in completed homework.  I've tried sticker charts and tons of incentives. Nothing's working!  So I guess my question is, how do you motivate your students to turn in complete homework? I would love new ideas and/or suggestions.

Alright friends,  have a great Tuesday.  Don't forget to spread the life, love, and laughter in your classrooms! :)
