<p>The Parent Connection is about helping you connect parents and teachers in the real world and work of raising successful children. For the purposes of this book, the reference to parents includes all other caregivers - extended family, foster parents, and other significant adults in the child's life. But how do we connect with each other? How do we make learning happen for children? How do we make learning fun, joyful, and meaningful? Throughout this book, we will explore how our parent-teacher connections lead to school success. From the beginning stages of our own attitudes about each other, we'll move to building skills around a series of situations that lead to more and more collaboration and culminate in a plan for increasing learning. Ultimately we will evaluate how our plan is going and tweak it as we go until we can say with surety and confi dence, "Learning for our kids is going great!"</p>

<p>The Parent Playbooks are designed to help the parent, teacher, or child with fun activities to do in just a few minutes a day. These activities are matched to the new Common Core State Standards lessons being taught in your schools everyday. Doing these activities before, during, or after school improves learning. We collected these activities from parents and teachers so we know they work. Our job was to match those successful activities that kids enjoy and from which they gain new learning, to the standards being taught at school. Standards, instruction, and curriculum may change from school to school so we chose to take a middle-of-the-road approach by using Common Core Standards as our criteria. We can't guarantee that the activity/standard match will be 100% accurate for every school, but we can guarantee that kids learn by doing, and these activities keep them learning.</p>
