June 2016 Dear Parents and Guardians, With the end of the school year quickly upon us, we know that you are making plans for your child's summer vacation activities. Like most parents, you are aware that while the summer months are a welcome opportunity for fun and relaxation, the break from school activities often causes students to experience a lag in learning upon returning to school in the fall. In an effort to lessen this effect, the fourth grade teachers have created summer reading requirements. These requirements aim to help reduce the usual summer learning loss by providing assignments and suggestions for students’ summer reading. The guidelines for the program are simple. All students are asked to read at least two grade- appropriate books from the fourth grade summer reading list over their vacation. The first book, The Chocolate Touch is required of all rising fourth grade students. The students are then to complete the reading comprehension questions attached in this packet. An assessment on The Chocolate Touch will be given within the first two weeks of school. The second book is to be chosen by the student from the attached list. Please complete the Character Collage Project using the selected book. Directions have been provided. Both assignments will be due the first day of school. Students may read more than one book and may complete more than one collage project. This is highly encouraged in order to get them geared up for fourth grade. Please note, it is not necessary to purchase any of the books, as you are encouraged to utilize your local library and reserve books early to guarantee a copy. We hope that you will join us in this important effort and assist your child in their summer reading. Thank you, Mrs. Beadle and Mrs. Mastrangelo

June 2016

Dear Parents and Guardians,

With the end of the school year quickly upon us, we know that you are making plans for your

child's summer vacation activities. Like most parents, you are aware that while the summer months

are a welcome opportunity for fun and relaxation, the break from school activities often causes

students to experience a lag in learning upon returning to school in the fall. In an effort to lessen this

effect, the fourth grade teachers have created summer reading requirements. These requirements

aim to help reduce the usual summer learning loss by providing assignments and suggestions for

students’ summer reading.

The guidelines for the program are simple. All students are asked to read at least two grade-

appropriate books from the fourth grade summer reading list over their vacation. The first book, The

Chocolate Touch is required of all rising fourth grade students. The students are then to complete

the reading comprehension questions attached in this packet. An assessment on The Chocolate

Touch will be given within the first two weeks of school. The second book is to be chosen by the

student from the attached list. Please complete the Character Collage Project using the selected

book. Directions have been provided. Both assignments will be due the first day of school.

Students may read more than one book and may complete more than one collage project. This is

highly encouraged in order to get them geared up for fourth grade. Please note, it is not necessary to

purchase any of the books, as you are encouraged to utilize your local library and reserve books early

to guarantee a copy.

We hope that you will join us in this important effort and assist your child in their summer

reading.

Thank you,

Mrs. Beadle and Mrs. Mastrangelo

Dear Parent and Guardians,

In addition to their required reading and book report, the students will also need to work on

their mathematics this summer. It is our goal that every student know all of their multiplication

facts when they enter the fourth grade. It is very important that every child know his/her facts as it is

a third grade math standard. If a student enters fourth grade without knowing their facts they will fall

behind and we want to ensure that this does not happen.

Students must know their multiplication facts not just to multiply, but also for division, fractions,

percents, prime and composite numbers, area and volume calculations, and conversions between

measurements. Because these skills require multiplication, students who know their facts tend to get

much higher math grades than those who do not. Please help your student to be successful in fourth

grade math by starting them off on the right foot. Practice multiplication facts with them for 20

minutes a night until they learn all the facts. After the facts are mastered, continue to practice for ten

minutes a night after that to guarantee they retain all the facts they learned. Please review addition

and subtraction facts as well, as these are often sadly overlooked and gravely ignored.

The completed math packet is due the first day of school. Be prepared to be tested on

some of these skills during the first week of school.

Thank you,

Mrs. Beadle and Mrs. Mastrangelo
