[quote=Anonymous]10 minutes/grade (outside of the 20 mins reading) is the guideline. We read 2-3 picture books/night and then it's lights out, regardless of time. If it's taking more, you need to tell the teacher. Our teacher was very clear about this at Back to School Night. A lot of the other assignments sound more like activities you *might* get into on the weekend when there is some time to fill. I'd stick to the math worksheet and words. Tell your child the picture doesn't have to be elaborate as a guideline. Or say, what can you draw in 5 minutes? Then the other 5 is for the rest of the homework. First grade is a huge curve, no doubt. I wouldn't be shy about telling the teacher you'll do X, Y, and Z during the week and other time intensive things on the weekend if your family schedule allows. There's no way the teacher expects you to take a walk every day and look for different types of trees. [/quote]
