Here is a hands-on activity to help third graders understand the four points of a compass...and how we use them to get around.

Make ancient Egypt come alive by showing kids how to make their own mini sarcophagus out of a shoe box.

Make an initiation shield like the ones from the Kikuyu tribe in Africa for an art project.

Your child will create their very own traditional Indian Toran wall hanging using construction paper, yarn and paint.

When it comes to helping your third grader manage a school backpack, small steps now bring big payoffs later.
