Dear Parents and Students,
We are pleased to present this summer’s learning packet for students entering fifth grade. We know that summer is here and we are ready to take vacations and spend time with family and friends. Time for fun and relaxation is important, but we also know that time away from school can cause a lapse in learning.

Math:
Please continue to practice your math skills by utilizing these free websites:
● xtramath

Reading:
Please read for 30 minutes EACH DAY. You can read using books or by utilizing RazKids. You should also be visiting the NYC Public Library to access books on your level and of your interests.
Please bring your NYC issued device on Monday, September 11, 2023. We will be using their school device this academic year in school. Make sure you have your charger and laptop ready for class.
