Summer Reading
Summertime is for R&R (Relaxation and Reading). Read as much as you can and whatever you like. Love every minute of it! Read in your room; read at the beach. Read with a lamp or a flashlight at camp. Talk about the books you are reading! Ask your parents to read a book with you. We can’t wait to talk about all the great books you’ve read!
Summer Writing
Write letters, journals, stories, and poems. Write with friends, start a summer newspaper, and create your own postcards to send to family and friends. Bring your writing to school in September. We’d love to read what you wrote.
Summer Math
Summertime is also a time to play with math and to brush up on some skills. Kids become secure with their math facts when they have many, many experiences with numbers.
Play cribbage, Yahtzee, the “24” game, double or triple a recipe, skip–count in the car on the way to the beach, try to stump a partner with a math fact, divide a bag of cookies among your friends, figure out how many cups of juice are in a carton, or anything else you can think of that uses numbers. Play any favorite games from Fourth Grade Everyday Math or access websites that help practice math skills. Knowing all the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts will make it so your brain can focus on the new concepts we will be learning, and you can hit the ground running!
