Do kids in kindergarten normally have daily homework?
my 6 year old is required to read for 15 minutes every evening, write spelling words (they have a spelling test every friday - with 20 words), do daily writing, and read a 3 page list of sight words. It takes about 1 and a half hours for her to complete.
Her class does not have nap time.... they have recess 2 times a week.... they have coloring & singing activities by rotation, only 1 time a week for each.
She comes home every evening worn out & starving. I pack her a snack to eat every day, and some days she tells me she didn't have time to eat it.
It seems rather harsh to me, I was wondering if it is normal?
It really depends on the school (public or private), the state and whether it's full day or half day kindergarten. But in my eyes: this is too much.
Her kindergarten class seems way above average. I've never heard of kindergarteners having spelling tests or only being active 2 times a week. At many of the schools I've taught at, studied and looked into, I'd say about 90% of the kindergarten classrooms are still practicing letter writing and words no longer than 3-4 letters. If she is in half day kindergarten, they do not need nap time. If she's in full day, the should DEFINITELY have a nap or rest period. I know the state I live in REQUIRES it. They should also have more time to run around outside or in a gym class. Music once a week is understand able. Arts and crafts once a week is not. Reading and practicing sight words sounds about normal. It being 3 pages long and taking 90 minutes to complete is way off the charts.
This whole situation to me sounds more like a 1st-2nd grade classroom setting. A kindergarten classroom shouldn't be this structured. Free time, arts and crafts and music are JUST AS IMPORANT as reading, writing etc. 6yrs are still developing motor skills, socialization skills and expression. They can't do that in this kind of classroom setting.
I don't know where you live or anything about the school so I couldn't tell you what to do. I'd suggest signing her up for an after school art/music/sport but if she's head tired when she gets home...
