GPB EDUCATION GET READY FOR SCHOOL

For parents and caregivers looking for a simple way to keep learning going over the summer and explore skills that will prepare students for the school year ahead, GPB Education’s and the Georgia Department of Education’s “Getting Ready” guides are a wonderful resource. GPB Education collaborated with the Georgia Department of Education to identify key skills for children getting ready for kindergarten through third grade. These skills will help families understand what children have already learned and can expect to learn when they get back to school. They include physical health and wellness, language arts, math, social studies and science, and encourage kids to stay active, make friends, read, play with numbers, and explore their world. These skills and guidance are meant to help but are not required. When children return to school, teachers will be excited to meet them where they are and will identify areas of strength and areas of growth.
