Moving up to third grade brings many changes. We will be having homework every night, doing monthly book reports, and working on becoming Fully Responsible, Organized, and Growing Students! With transition in mind, here are some ideas that might make the change from second grade to third grade a little easier when August comes.
Religion: Go to Mass on Sunday, if not more often, and encourage participation. Try to make some time for prayer everyday.
Reading: READ! Read to them, they read to you, read silently. Teach them your tricks and techniques for reading and understanding words you don’t know. Discuss the characters, setting, and plot (beginning, middle, and end).
Math: Please have the children memorize their addition and subtraction facts. Also, work on mastering the multiplication facts. Math will be much easier in third grade if they have a good grasp of these facts.
English: Practice capitalizing words that need to be capitalized and using punctuation at the end of sentences.
Social: Have your children practice waiting and solving problems by themselves. It will make them feel self-confident.
Let us pray for one another over the summer. God bless you!
