ok, so my 6 year old daughter, Mackenzie is developmently delayed slightly because of slight autism. here is my concern
she is in first grade. she participates in her regular class, and in special ed and speech.
every night for the last month, she brings home 3 pages (front and back) of math . its subtraction and adding mostly and now they are throwing in learning how much a penny is also dimes and nickles too.
i understand that math is important i really do! BUT im a bit upset about the fact it doesnt seem that they have been working on letters at all since the very beginning of the year.
Mackenzie can only write a few letters legibly. i try to work with her on her letters on the one day a week she doesnt get homework. on fridays they send 8-10 pages of homework front and back !!
right now we spend on average 2 hours on home work.
what should i do ?? i feel that its way too much to make her do 2 hours of homework a nite and have her read the booklets they send home AND have her work on her name!! (and other letters)
please help! she is already overly frustrated with the amount she gets now!
