[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After a number of very leisurely homework years, my child has started to come home with a significant load of HW in 4th grade. I'd lke to compare notes -- can anyone share their typical 4th grade workload ? (We are n FCPS, but 'm interested in answers all over the area.)

- one -two math worksheets a day
- 4 sheets with reading material followed by questions -- 4 sheets a week
- About 20 new words to study -- order the words alphabetically, write them down, create sentences, find antonyms to some words, and figure out synonyms.

What do others get?[/quote]

This is what we have, and my dd is in 3rd grade.  Just this week, she also had to prepare for a math test, a social studies test, and a vocabulary test.  Next week, she has a science test and a spelling test.  And the following week, she has a big project due - 10 pages of writing different things, plus decorating a pumpkin.  She has to present this project to the class in addition to her spelling test and usual homework that you have written out above.  That plus, she has been sick for 2 weeks.  I am going out of my mind.  [/quote]
