My 1st grade DD got homework on Mon and turned in on Fri. Every week she has three pages of spelling words. One reading page with some simple questions. Four pages (2 sides) math sheets. A practice sheet for practicing spelling test at home. One poem to memorize and recite. Every day it took her about 20 mins to do homework writing plus 20+ mins book reading for reading log. She also needs to spend one hour per week on Chinese homework.

When DS was in 1st grade, it took him much much more time on homework. He got same teacher and same work as DD. He still has time management problem, so it seems DS is always doing homework and DD has nothing to do.
