my advice to parents are entering kindergarten is really just don't sweat the small stuff which I can leave the letters and numbers it will come when they're ready and by the spring it all worked out I have a first grader and this year one of the big tips that I would give to first grade parent is investing in a lot of very short books because her it's all about learning how to read my best advice for kids entering second grade would be to have them be more independent because now they're getting into a higher grade second grade is a big year for the Friday spelling test in Friday night with my advice don't wait until Thursday night to get that spelling list out to go over with your child start on Monday and do it in the car have study corner with flashcards with packages of coins you know with no pads or whatever quiet space to study and have them in there. It was ready the parents who have bought second graders going into third graders as a third grade teacher my biggest suggestion is definitely have them he not only to you but read to themselves and get them studying doing just math practice we've invested in a lot of math games that really work well an allowance K my math bingo game math flash cards give them experiences because they soak everything up and they're really for the first time I feel like really listening really wanting information really craving experiences and information it's a great year to try to get to some museums to take some trip my best advice for parents of kids entering 4th grade is carve out a specific time for homework consistently every day because there's a lot of homework I've experienced in the other braids the best advice I have for parents and during 5th grade is to back off I know that sounds crazy but they're really getting ready for Middle School middle schools all about independence day I think it's apparent just sort of encouraged that they keep their homework together they don't forget their books in school you're not supposed to go back after school if they forgotten their science homework that's their problem as it was really hard as a pair did I want to say in the morning how are you don't forget your library book right now I have to my mouth cuz this is all training for Middle School
