We usually don’t give any homework First graders should spend not more than half an hour each evening on revising what has been done in the class and doing correction work, if it is there. If your child is tired and unable to continue, please do not force it; he/she can finish it later. Parents often wonder, ‖Should I correct my child‘s mistake? How will the teacher know he/she is having a problem?‖ Our advice is, yes, point out the mistakes to your child in a gentle way, and use that opportunity to reteach and clarify the skill. If you would like the teacher to know about a particular problem area, please inform her via a little note in the diary.
