Have a great summer!

End of Year

Rising 5th grade summer work was sent home today- see the copy below. Mrs. Metaxes will also post a copy of summer work on her blog(found on the St. Ann website). Dear 4 th grade Parents and Students, In consideration of a wonderful new year in 5 th grade next year, below you will find work needing to be completed over the summer. Please complete all work as a prerequisite to 5 th grade. Hopefully this will help your child retain information already learned and help to make a smooth transition into 5 th grade math and language arts. The following is to be completed in IXL in 5 th grade level with a 100% score during the summer: Math – A.1, C.18, D.1, D.3, K.5 Language Arts – AA.1, BB.1, CC.1, DD.1, LL.1 They are encouraged to work on other sections if they so choose. The students are greatly encouraged to review their multiplication tables until they know them and can answer them quickly. In addition to the IXL work the students are required to read one book. They may choose from: The Magician’s Nephew by C. S. Lewis Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell Restart by Gordon Korman Encourage them to take notes on the book especially regarding characters, setting, problem, solution. They should be prepared to discuss and be tested on one of these books shortly after school starts. I wish you and your family a safe and happy summer vacation. Sincerely, LaDonna Metaxas Tomorrow is a 1/2 day, pick up is at 11:30. All school 8:15 a.m Mass with awards to follow. Students are to wear their uniforms to school and should bring in their water bottle per ususal. No need to bring in backpacks.
