[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hoping to hear from parents of current or recent Kindergarteners.

Is it normal to not have homework or textbooks?   Are you getting weekly updates on the class app with a brief overview of what they’re learning?

Otherwise, how do you know if your child needs help before progress reports? I’m not concerned about the grade, but making sure my child is understanding.[/quote]

Our Montessori K sent a folder home on Fridays that was child’s written work done that week, to be returned empty on Monday am.  The class had workbooks for a few subjects, like math.  No classroom app.  There was a weekly 2 page email from teacher with a few photos.  No iPads or Chromebooks or other screens.

For 1st grade, they added spelling practice as homework 5x nights/week with a weekly spelling test.  Math workbook was daily during school hours.  They still had a folder going home on Friday pm with all written work DC accomplished during the week.  No screens in class, but had typing on a computer for 30-40 minutes once each week.

We had no issues understanding what DC had done each week, mainly because of the folder (combined with all work being hand written).[/quote]
