[quote=Anonymous]OP here: I’d prefer not to say the school but we live in Great Falls. Here are some of the examples of what we had to do this week:
-20 min reading per night
-Pixk out meaningful photos, magazine pictures, and postcards (bc you know we obviously have a postcard collection lying at home) that represent important places and people and things. Have a discussion about each of them so DC is prepared to discuss them in class and can speak about why they are important. Send them all into school to be cut up for a writers notebook. (This took absolutely forever btw including a trip to cvs for the photos).
-a whole bunch of math word problems that she had to draw pictures for and draw our, the drawing took forever
-supposednto be studying some word list every week, but there are multiple lists and it’s unclear what’s what. Priority words, I can’t even remember the other categories. She’s having a test this week.
-go on a walk, identify different kinds of trees (deciduous and something else), learn about the definitions and I think draw the differences

That’s an example of some of the tasks, but it’s not the half of it for one week. Also, stuff has to be cut and physically pasted into a notebook on a certain way which of course drags the whole thing out.

My biggest complaint may be the disorganization and difficulty of knowing what to do because of all the various papers and types of work. I think this stems from the fact that some of it is assigned individuall by the teacher and some of it is a blanketnfirst grade assignment.. so it doesn’t look consistent and it’s just hard to keep straight.

Does this sound like more than what others are getting?[/quote]
