[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The counselor who is still there is great. And SEL is definitely part of curriculum now. There was a bunch during covid. I think the push was there before covid though.

And generally there isn’t as much homework as there was several years ago. For good or bad.

Can you talk about how much homework there is? I hope this will shift as the parent and student population shifts. But what’s the homework situation like now?[/quote]

Daily and huge quarterly projects starting in second grade[/quote]
Not anymore.  Fourth and fifth are the only grades that still give considerable homework -- its very different from 6 years ago when my second grader at the time was spending hours doing word study.

Daily homework (reading for 15 minutes) for K and 1st.  
Project based learning + 15 minutes reading for second (monthly project like an art project or something similar about something they are learning).  
15 minutes math + 20 minutes reading for third.  
15 minutes math + 20 minutes reading + weekly readers response for fourth.  Quarterly projects for va studies.
15 minutes math + 20 minutes reading + weekly readers response + assorted science homework for fifth.  Quarterly projects for reading and science.  [/quote]

Project based learning + 15 minutes reading for second (monthly project like an art project or something similar about something they are learning).  = a powerpoint presentation or panorama about native Americans. Not sure where you get art project.
