Used Book in Good Condition
You might want to buy a book called Yardsticks by a fellow named (yes, his actual name) Chip Wood. Excellent overview of kids ages 4-14 but geard for teachers so it covers development and cognitive growth. I would advise you buy and read this book single parent or not.
I have noticed a great degree of emphasis on sports but I want to encourage you to consider why people have chosen to put that forward. Sports teach teamwork, discipline and the value of giving something your best for the greater good.
Congrats on moving to 3rd grade! I think you'll love it! Third graders basically come in as second graders - check in and make sure they know the basics before moving on to the more challenging stuff and (like in kindergarten) practice and teach routines over and over and over! :) Second to third is a HUGE jump though! They are now reading to learn instead of learning to read (most of them).
This book was really helpful for me -
