[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a different perspective.  I think [b]your attitude [/b]about homework/schoolwork makes a much bigger difference in whether a child loves learning rather than the mere fact of homework.  If you act all sad and mad or if you blow it off and act like it isn't important then your kid picks up on it.  What you're describing doesn't sound particularly onerous or outrageous.  Children in the same grades in privates do a lot more than what you're describing.  And frankly ACPS needs all the boost it can get.  So if a little homework will help then do it.[/quote]

I think the OP's attitude is totally fine as promoting reading for pleasure is more important at that age than trying to turn reading into a very structured activity, via daily logs.

OP, in your case (depending on how detailed the teacher wants the entries to be), I'd complete it very quickly yourself, or even have them practice writing out the easy part. But don't overdo it, if you notice kid getting stressed at all about it, skip it for that day. Most importantly don't let it get in the way of your child continuing to enjoy reading for interest and fun.[/quote]
