Dear Family,Welcome to Kids Learn! Getting Ready for 3rd Grade. Third grade will be an exciting year. There will be plenty of new learning opportunities, including longer books to read and multiplication facts to memorize! Interesting new topics in science and social studies will keep students engaged in lessons at school. Kids Learn! was designed to help solidify the concepts your child learned in second grade and help your child prepare for the year ahead. The activities are based on Common Core State Standards and provide practice with essential skills for the grade level. Keeping reading, writing, and math skills sharp while your child is on break from school will help his or her third– grade year get off to a great start. There is also a section at the end of the book that provides practice for standardized testing.Keep these tips in mind as you work with your child through the Kids Learn! book: • Setasideaspecific time each day to work on the activities. • Complete one language arts and one mathematics page each time your child works in the book rather than an entire week’s worth of activity pages at one time. • Keepallpractice sessions with your child positive and constructive. If the mood becomes tense or if either of you gets frustrated, set the book aside and find another time for your child to practice. • Help your child with instructions, if necessary. If your child is having difficulty understanding what to do, work some of the problems through together. • Encourageyourchildtodohisorherbestworkandcompliment the effort that goes into learning. Celebrate the completion of all the activities by filling in the certificate at the end of the book and displaying it in a special place.Enjoythetimelearningwithyourchildduringhisorhervacationfromschool.Thirdgradewillbe
