Maggie’s Summer Workout Plan for 3rd graders

entering 4th grade atLake Harbor or Mandeville Middle

Prevent the Summer Slide!

In order to help your child retain the skills learned in third grade at MTE, we have attached ELA & Math activities that should take no longer than 30 minutes each to complete. Also, our local libraries run great summer reading programs that will help students keep their reading fluency rates high.

At the end of 3rd grade, students should be able to read at least 100 words per minute. Students should also be able to recall and retell the events of the story in order. In their retells, students should include setting and character descriptions, along with any problems and/or solutions.

There are 10 weeks of summer. Each week choose a journal topic to write about. Each entry should be 2-3 paragraphs, which is approximately 10-20 super sentences that flow well with a clear introduction, middle, & closing. Remember to follow the steps of the writing process:

Mon. – Select a journal prompt & brainstorm with a Thinking Map or graphic organizer of your choice.

Tues. – Use a Flee Map to organize your paragraph with a turn-around opening sentence, supporting details, and a closing sentence.

Wed. – Write your rough draft.

Thurs. – Proofread and edit your rough draft.

Fri. – Publish your final draft in cursive or by typing on a computer.

Journal topics to choose from:

1. Does summer feel different than other seasons to you? Why or why not?

2. Do you ever miss going to school during the summer? Why or why not?

3. Does your family have any summer traditions? What makes them special?

4. July is National Ice Cream Month. How will you be celebrating this important holiday?

5. Do you prefer having a single three-month long summer vacation, or would you rather have the time away from school broken up more frequently throughout the year? Why?

6. Imagine that you and your friends are going to build the world’s largest sandcastle. What kinds of rooms would you put inside? What cool features would the castle have?

7. Pretend that you are a tour guide for someone who is visiting your city for the first time. What would you do to show them around?

8. Would you rather spend time indoors or outdoors during the summer? Why?

9. What part of summer do you look forward to the most every year? Why?

10.Have you ever gone to summer camp? What did you like about it? If not, what type of summer camp would you want to attend?

11.Go outside and spend 15 minutes thinking about what you can see, smell, hear, feel, and taste during the summer. Then, write about your favorite ways to experience these senses.

12.What is your favorite summer holiday? What do you like most about it?

13.Write a story about three kids who get to experience a never-ending summer.

14.Do your parents let you stay up later during the summer? Why or why not? If so, what do you like to do with the extra time?

15.If you could travel anywhere in the world this summer, where would you go? What would you do there?
