a couple of tips for this year

A tip for parents with more than one child in K12 ... I know this works with science and math ... may work for history depending on the grades ... while you are waiting for classes to load in the OLS ... go through and find all of the units that cover the same material ... for example ... if your second grader is learning time ... chances are your kindergartener will be learning time too at some point ... you can jump ahead in one grade and do them both at the same time ... each will have their own level of understanding and their own assessment but it's nice when you can combine units for multiple grades ... i did this last year with science and math and it made all of the difference for my boys

A tip for ELA reading assignments ... I would go through on a Thursday or Friday and pull all of the books and stories we were going to read the next week during class and use them as bedtime stories the night before the lesson so it would save actual class time for my boys ... it also helped them to see what the other one had to read
