Kindergartenersâ attention spans are short. So their homework should be short, too! Send home nightly tasks that can be completed in about 10 or 15 minutes. If you send home a weekly homework packet, make sure to educate parents about the importance of doing some each night (rather than all of it on Thursday night!).
