What You Can Do to Help Your Child in School

• Be familiar with the Core Knowledge topics being studied in the classroom and discuss them with your child. You can request a copy of the year-long plan and read books related to the topics together with your child.
• Provide enrichment opportunities to reinforce the curriculum — trips to libraries, museums, music venues, and children’s theaters.
• Provide your child’s teacher with feedback about circumstances that might affect the classroom learning experience
• Keep a scrapbook of schoolwork and student achievements. Let your child know how important his or her school life is to you.
