3rd Grade Summer Homework

Welcome to Third Grade! I am very excited for this coming year and I cannot wait to see how much your students will grow in my class. In order to prepare them for Third Grade, they need to do a few things over the summer: 

• Practice on www.IXL.com for 15 minutes twice a week. In this packet, there is a form that has your child’s username and password. Your child needs to start their practice of skills in the Second grade section. Once they have mastered all of those skills, they can move on to the Third Grade section, and so on. I will be checking IXL.com every two weeks in the teacher section to make sure they have been practicing. If your child practices on IXL.com for 240 minutes in total by September 6^th, they will get to participate in an ice cream party!

• Your child needs to read 15 minutes each day during the summer. Once they have read for 15 minutes, they need to record the title of the book and how many minutes they read in their reading log that is attached to this packet. You (or another adult who reads with them) need to also make sure to sign your (or the other adult’s) name in the parent signature box.

• Your child needs to pick one fiction book and one nonfiction book that they read over the summer and complete the corresponding attached Book Report forms.  Please use the paper provided in this packet.

• You will be receiving your child’s MAP report with their report card. This report shows your child’s Lexile reading level. Here is a website that suggests books by level for your child’s reading level:

I look forward to seeing you all in the fall!
