Third into Fourth Grade Summer Work
Dear Third Grade Graduates,
We enjoyed having you as students. Now it’s time for summer. Here are some materials for you to complete so you don’t forget all the wonderful things you learned in third grade.
You will find a math packet. This packet includes activities to help you keep your math skills sharp. Be sure that you complete these worksheets and hand them in to your math teacher at the beginning of September.
We hope that you will choose to read many books for pleasure over these next few months. However, you do have formal reading requirements, which include the two books you selected with Mrs. Ressa. After you read a book, add it to your reading log, and share why you would or would not recommend it.
Have a fabulous summer!
