Hey there, smile. Homework and projects are part of school life.
Some kids start getting homework as early as kindergarden.
This doesn't mean that your teacher is being hard on you. Your teacher gives you homework or project work because it is going to benefit you. Estimate how much time it will take you to complete the assignment, and decide upon a date when to start working on it. Break large assignments or projects into smaller tasks. Record in your calendar the dates when each task must be completed.
