Aspen is half way through 1st grade and doing great. I feel a little bad that I don't have too many current pictures of him right now, but when he gets home from school, things get busy!
I generally give him 30-45 minutes to wind down from school, get a snack and watch a show or play the Wii. After that, we do 30-45 minutes of homework. Each week he has a homework packet to work on, plus 20-30 minutes of reading to do each night.
It was torture for me at first, trying to find that amount of time to read with him, but now that he is reading on his own it's getting easier. He's really progressed a lot in the last month, and I'm really proud of him! The downside is that Mark and I can no longer spell things out to each other when we don't want the kids to know what we are talking about. We always get caught :)
