DS7 (1st grade) has maybe 5-10 minutes a week of homework. Maybe if we actually had to study spelling words it would be more.
A lot of nights if we are home, I have him do 10-15 minutes of Singapore math and this works great. Where we're working is still effortless and he can get through 4-6 pages of a workbook much of of the time. Considering what he working on at school this year, I'm very thrilled there isn't a bunch of busy work to do!
We actually had much more homework in kindergarten strangely. We had really great homework for kindergarten - very open ended and fun. Things like find out how many steps you can take from the kitchen to your bedroom. And then you could build on this, and get a yard stick and figure out how much further it was from the hallway or something. Ahh ... the good old days.
