Our school really tries to limit homework. Here is what is typically given.<br />
<br />
Reading - Read 20 minutes each night (some teachers require students to fill in a reading log and have parents sign)<br />
Math - One worksheet that is part of our Everyday Math curriculum<br />
Spelling - Study for spelling test (normally assigned Wednesday night)<br />
Writing - Five sentences on any topic due Friday (we give time in class to complete if students are done their work)<br />
<br />
Study for any tests as needed. There is no science…

<br />
Study for any tests as needed. There is no science or social studies homework given. I teach science and I might ask students to watch local weather during our weather unit and be willing to share any connections they see. During our animal unit I might give them a week plus weekend to watch one show about animals and be prepared to discuss.<br />
<br />
Hope that helps!<br />

Hi Jane and Aparna, thanks for your replies. You both referred to social studies or social science which are topics I am not familiar with. What does these studies include? What type of homework is it?<br />
<br />
Thanks again.

As far as I recall, Math and English are 2 areas where my son got most work. Language was in the form of reading a few pages every night. Math was usually working on 2 pages. This was true from Grades K-3.<br />
<br />
Grade 4-5, it expanded to music practice. Violin practice, yes, that was painful. :) He also got some social science, and science projects like building models.<br />

As a former elementary teacher, I can say that most teachers in my school gave math homework nightly. There was also some type of Language Arts homework, such as a reading assignment from a book of the child's choice. At other times teachers might ask students to think about what they already knew or research something about topics in social studies or science.
