The Grandparents' Guide to Education
Experts tell what grandchildren should learn in school, from grades K through 8
by Gary Drevitch
So, what are you doing in school this year?
It's the opening line in many conversations between grandparents and grandchildren. Unfortunately, as many grandparents learn, children are not always so forthcoming with the details of what they're doing in, say, third-grade math or sixth-grade science. Now Grandparents.com has asked some experts to help fill you in — a team of teachers and writers who produce textbooks, magazines, and other products for the nation's classrooms. They helped us compile a clear and concise guide to what your grandchildren should be learning, from kindergarten through grade 8, in the subject areas of English, math, science, and social studies.
Each article summarizes what grandchildren will learn during the school year; introduces controversial issues that students and teachers may face as they study together; recommends books and websites that will expand your grandchildren's knowledge; and suggests activities you and your grandchildren can do together to reinforce and extend their classroom lessons. Now you'll be prepared not only to talk with the kids about what they're learning in the classroom, but to help them excel there as well.
