Dear 4th grade Parents and Students,
In consideration of a wonderful new year in 5th grade next year, below you will find work needing to be completed over the summer. Please complete all work as a prerequisite to 5th grade. Hopefully this will help your child retain information already learned and help to make a smooth transition into 5th grade math and language arts.
The following is to be completed in IXL in 5th grade level with a 100% score during the summer:
Math – A.1, C.18, D.1, D.3, K.5
Language Arts – AA.1, BB.1, CC.1, DD.1, LL.1
They are encouraged to work on other sections if they so choose. The students are greatly encouraged to review their multiplication tables until they know them and can answer them quickly.
In addition to the IXL work the students are required to read one book. They may choose from:
The Magician’s Nephew by C. S. Lewis
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien
Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell
Restart by Gordon Korman
Encourage them to take notes on the book especially regarding characters, setting, problem, solution. They should be prepared to discuss and be tested on one of these books shortly after school starts.
I wish you and your family a safe and happy summer vacation.
Sincerely,
LaDonna Metaxas
5th grade Teacher
