When I was young, I just had one or two things of homework a day in third grade. The assignment was either in math, english, science, or social studies/history and you could choose which you wanted to do based off of buckets by subject. You then took home a big fold-up of an assignment. It was fun unwrapping it, doing the work, and then giving it back. You never knew exactly what you would have to do until you opened your big sheet of paper at home. The point was that at the end of the semester everyone did every assignment, but everyone does it in a "fun" order. This was in Canada and I don't know if it's acceptably done anymore. I certainly wouldn't have handled multiple sheets of hard work at that age.
