Welcome to Third Grade!



​Third Grade 
Summer Homework Packet 2019
Dear Parents and Students,
 
         Welcome to the Third Grade!  This will be a very exciting school year! We have many fun and exciting things planned!
 
         This summer, please begin to work on multiplication facts with your child.  Knowing them will make the third grade math curriculum much easier.
 
         Help your child create a SUMMER COLLAGE.  Take pictures of all the fun things that you do with your child.  Also, collect brochures, pamphlets, ticket stubs, maps and souvenirs from places that you visit.  Place all of these items along with a paragraph about your summer on a small poster (12x18).  Nothing larger please!
 
         Please encourage your child to read every day during the summer.  The Jackson Heights Library has a wide selection of books for you to borrow.  The children’s librarian is very helpful and knowledgeable.  Please refer to the Suggested Third Grade Reading List for appropriate titles.
 
         Please return the completed project and survey on the first day of school.  All school supplies are due by the end of the first week.  We wish you a safe and fun summer vacation!
 
                          
 Sincerely,
 The Third Grade Teachers
 
 
See you on, September 5th, 2019!
