June 2010

Dear Parents,

This school year has flown by, and it has been a real pleasure to teach this year’s fifth grade class. Once again, I thank you for your help and support throughout the year. Listed below are the assignments all upcoming fifth-graders must complete over the summer. Detailed instructions for both assignments will be sent home with students before the end of the school year. Both are due on the first day of school.

Summer Math: Students must design and create a “Math Game in a Box.” All of the game components must fit inside of a shoe-box.

Summer Reading: Upcoming fifth-graders are required to read two books. The first book is North by Night by Katherine Ayres. There is no written assignment for this book; however, there will be class discussions, activities, and assessments on this book during the first two weeks of school. For the second book, students may pick either Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell or Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

Wishing you a safe and relaxing summer break,

In Friendship, T. Lisa
