Hello 4th Grade Families
Summer Activities
A few parents have inquired as to ways to prepare their student for 5th grade. Mrs. Beckwith and Mrs. Kusbel, the fifth grade teachers, have recommended that students master math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). These facts are the groundwork for the concepts they'll learn in 5th grade and beyond. Children should spend time reading, choose 3 or more books that will be required reading. Local libraries and even Barnes and Noble have reading programs that make the reading challenge fun! Newbury Medal books are a good place to start. Lastly, Summer Bridge Activity books are available at Lakeshore Learning, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon. Ask your child to complete 2 to 3 pages per day. As a parent you can create your own incentive program. You may want to join the reading challenge too!
Need Summer nanny/babysitting help?
Mrs. Phillips's daughter, Sarah, is home from college this summer and available to help with any childcare needs. Please contact Mrs. Phillips in 4B.
Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer!
