Just Life | Help! My Kid Is Going Back To School

It is the beginning of another school year. My kid is going to third grade.

Experts say that 3rd grade is an important milestone in a child's education, so I am in panic mode. Is my child ready?

I want to know what my kid would be learning in 3rd grade. So I went to California Department of Education to get some answers. In their search box, I typed "third grade curriculum" and I found a gem.

As I browsed through the 3rd grade curriculum, I realized that I didn't know some of the terms and concepts that my kid would be learning this year.

So I guess I am going to back to school. My estimated graduation date would be 2023 unless I flunk a couple of grades which is highly likely. 

Please don't panic like me. You can find free homework help and math tutoring for your kid in the following local libraries.
