my daughter is in first grade - and we have a book/night (i usually try to have her read it in the car on the way home from school - takes about 10 - 15 min), two pages of math homework and 10 spelling words. we practice spelling each morning at breakfast (doing some oral work plus she writes them all down). she also does extra math work at the russian school of math - that's 1.5 hours per week + about 4 pages of homework. in addition, on thursdays she brings home a special "project" that she does related to a book - this week she just had to read the book and select 20 words to put in order by length.
i think that's a pretty reasonable amount of homework for her - it's probably about 30 min/day if you add it all up, but since we do the spelling at breakfast and the reading in the car, it's really broken up.
