Homework for First Graders

Lizzy has started her homework this week for first grade. Today she had a math game, which we played together this afternoon. She also has a reading log, where she needs to read or be read to for 15 minutes each day. While she is participating and doing the homework, I feel the reminding her to do it and keeping track of it falls to me. Which is just funny, how much of the younger grades' homework contains a lot of parent participation. I think it is beneficial for the students, but the parents are an integral part. It does help us to be diligent to read each day. We have always read a lot, yet this makes sure we read each for 15 minutes or more. Frankie gets involved because he loves to listen to Lizzy read each day!
