[quote=Anonymous]2nd and 4th grade now, or will they be 2nd and 4th grade when they enter the school?

Anyway, I would put my main effort over the summer into making sure anyone entering at 3rd grade or higher has the multiplication table memorized. Work on calculation speed and accuracy of addition and subtraction for both children.

Start cursive now. It takes a long time to learn and get comfortable with it, and if your kids have been in public school, any instruction they've had was likely desultory. I really, really like the model used by the Cursive First curriculum for instruction.

I would also suggest basic familiarity with the Bible, including (for Jews) the New Testament. Enough to know some of the basic stories and  some of the main characters. Jesus, Moses, Mary, etc.

Other than that, just work on whatever aspect of your child's education seems weak. Am at a  Protestant Christian school, but know people going through Catholic, and the schools usually do pretty well.[/quote]
