3rd Grade

Dear Soon-to-be-Third-Graders,

Are you excited for third grade? I hope so because I am so excited to have you join me in third grade! One skill that comes in very handy in all of our learning is... reading! Reading over the summer is not only fun and relaxing, but it is wonderful practice.

You are being asked to read a minimum of THREE BOOKS this summer on your own or with a more experienced reader. You may choose any author across various genres, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Summer is a wonderful time to explore new books and authors. One of your books should be a fictional chapter book, so you can complete the book project described below.

Please complete this fun book project called Sticks in a Can. In addition, please list ANY AND ALL books you read on this Third Grade Reading Log.

During your first week back at school, you will hand in your reading log, and you will be presenting a Sticks in a Can book report. It’s a great way to share our summer reading with one another when we begin our school year together.

I hope you enjoy your summer and some good books!

Happy Reading,

Mrs. Greenwood
