How much homework should my child have in fourth grade?

Fourth graders have an average of 30-40 minutes of homework a night. 
Sometimes it may be a little longer if they have a project to do.

How much help should I give my child when doing homework?

Your child should need very little help when doing an assignment. 
However, if he or she has a question, you should assist them. If you 
would like to check the homework when it is done, that is perfectly 
fine also. Homework is practicing what they have been taught and any 
further help at home is always beneficial. It also would be extremely 
helpful to help the children study for any tests.

When do my children have tests?

Every Friday there will be a spelling test. Other tests 
in various subjects will be given at the conclusion of a skill or 
unit. 
The children will be notified at least 3 days in advance, if not 
longer. They will write this in their homework notebook
