How much time should be spent on homework?

For first grade 30-45 minutes is sufficient.  If it is taking more 
than that you need to look at when homework is being done.  For some 
doing homework right after school works.  For others, they need play 
time and then homework time.  You should find what works best for 
you, your schedule and your little one!!!

week to check for Show and Tell.

Can toys be brought to school for recess?

No toys of any kind should be brought to school.  We have had 
problems in the past with toys being broken or taken.  The only time 
a toy can be brought to school would be for Show and Tell.
