3rd Grade Entering 4th Grade Summer Work

Dear Parents and Students,Wow! I can not believe the end is here. Way to go 3rd grade!

We have been preparing for 4th grade all year long and it is extremelyimportant to keep those skills up over the summer. Below is somework that should be done in order to keep our skills fresh for 4th

grade. Remember that this work is to help you and make sure you areprepared. Also, keeping in mind summer is a time to have fun withfriends and family. While doing so, there are many learningopportunities out there, so take advantage. I hope you all have afantastic summer. I will miss all of you and look forward to seeingyou in the fall all grown up. Please expand, bend, or improvise thissummer work as you see appropriate for your child.

Reading:Students are expected to read just about everyday over the summer

adding up to two hours a week. Students should check every day they readallowing themselves a total of 2 weeks off. If you are having trouble findingsome grade level appropriate books here is a link I suggest using.www.lexile.com/fab/ff

Besides reading everyday and filling in their reading log (be sure to keeptrack of pages as well), students are to complete one of the three projects thatfollow. You are to do a.) Book Jacket Book Report with the attacheddirections, b.) Critical Thinking Bag Book Report - with directions below,or c.) Night / Trip to the Museum - with direction on the back. Whicheverassignment you choose will be counted as a quiz grade worth 50 points andyou will be presenting it to the class in the first week of school.

Critical Thinking Bag Book Report - You need a brown or white paperlunch bag. On the front side you are going to write the title, and author, your nameand a drawing from your favorite scene or favorite character. On the back youwrite a list of the characters and 3 describing words (characteristics) of eachcharacter. Below that write a short summary of the book. In the bag, place three tofive objects that will help you retell the story and had significance to the story.

A Night / Trip to the MuseumIn your travels over the summer or while you are right here in DC there is so

much you could learn. A few different ideas for this activity might be; visiting amuseum or monument in downtown DC, a historic sight, hiking a mountain, daycamp, etc. Students are to write on a 5x8 index card or piece of paper the name ofmuseum, sight, or event, where it was, and draw a picture of one or two interestingthings about the place visited. On the back side, write a short paragraph (5-8sentences) about what you did there.

Math:Students are to complete the attached worksheets and work on their math

skills on the computer three to four times a week. Each day you practice yourmath facts or do some kind of math skill whether worksheet, math game, orreal life application, it all counts. You should be able to check off everydayleaving 2 weeks for vacation at the time of your choice. The attachedworksheets focus on three digit multiplication, long division, and otherproblem solving skills learned in 3rd grade. These skills must be retained inmath especially for 4th grade.

I also suggest that you get a set of multiplication and division flash cardsif you do not already have them. They are on the supply list for 4th grade withMs. Butler next year so it is better that they are practicing all summer long. Inaddition to the worksheets students should be practicing their mathematicskills and playing educational math or other academic skill games online.Please use the websites from my OLV webpage to help practice and retainthose math skills we have learned this year. You may also want to find someapps or use some other great games you know. All math application practice isgreat. Your math calendar and/or a math 3rd grade skill review workbook willbe worth a 50 point quiz grade.

- a great resource for math skill review if you would prefer and wantyour child to do paper and pencil practice could be Summer MathSkills Sharpener by Tri-C Publications, Inc. It can easily be orderedonline. There is also a Step Up to 4th Grade section at the end of themath workbook that could be used on traveling vacations instead ofinternet games or other work.

All work will be collected the first day of 4th grade.

Directions: At the end of the summer, you should be able to sign this form. Please readover the letter to Ms. Butler now, and practice your math facts often.

Dear Ms. Butler,I have tried my best to find time to practice my math facts in multiplication and divisionthis summer. I am faster at my facts then I was in third grade, and am now ready toconcentrate on more complex math problems. I also have done some work to maintainmy skills in telling time, counting money, geometry, and other 3rd grade concepts. I amready to start fourth grade math!

Sincerely,

(Student)
