Our homework is supposed to take about 30 minutes. If it is worksheets, DS is done in less than 10-15. If it is a writing assignment it usually takes around 3 hours. After that he has drum and piano practice for a total of 30 minutes, chores and dinner. On the days that his homework takes less than 30 minutes, he usually spends another 30 minutes doing Aleks. Lately though, that time has been going toward his science project. When time permits, we read aloud to each other from the Chronicals of Narnia. I tend to let the music practice slide on the heavy homework nights. I really hate writing assignment nights... Some days, I feel like we are rushing to get homework done just to give good night kisses.
