I posted that I overscheduled DD. She is now in grade 1 and I am a little surprised how much homework she is getting.
Right now it is only reading, composition, math, and spelling. But she gets chess homework once a week and she has mandarin homework from her Chinese extracurricular. Luckily she doesn't get homework for Spanish at school.
The math takes more time than just going the equations because she has to show problem solving and do it several ways, in pictures and then explain in words how she did the math problem. The writing takes time for a kid just turned 6 on Tuesday.
What kind of homework are you guys seeing for grade 1?
