We would like to thank everyone for a fun year of learning. We hope you have a relaxing summer spent with family and friends.
We encourage students to keep their minds active during the summer. This can involve many different ideas. The experiences that children have during vacation when traveling and seeing new things is definitely one of them. If you are traveling this summer, please take the opportunity to talk with your child about the places you visit. Discuss the historical, cultural, and political aspects of your destination.
Keeping a diary of all the exciting events they see and take part in will help to maintain and develop their literacy skills. This will also help give them ideas in the new school year. Encourage them to describe in detail so they 'paint a picture' in the reader's mind.
Reading every day is a great habit to help your child build. Educators and researchers have long recognized what has come to be known as the “summer slide,” the loss of learning that can take place during the summer months if students do not engage in educational activities. Click this link for an article that tells ways to prevent the summer slide.
Check out the online resources the library has that are located on the CAC website. In addition to reading resources they have social studies and science websites such as brainpopjr. The websites below will give you additional access to online books and reading resources. https://www.tumblebooks.com/

Third graders can also practice math through various activities. We do encourage them to continue to practice their basic math facts each day for a few minutes. Our students are familiar with Mathletics for online practice. Another website to visit is Khan Academy. Khan Academy has learning videos and activities that students can visit to refresh their math skills or learn new ones. Students can use their school email to log on and get a student account.
We created this packet from Eureka Math activities: Summer Math Fun for fluency practice. This Getting Ready for Grade 4 (use your CAC email to access it) packet has activities to keep your child engaged and ready for the next school year.
Please remember that summer vacation is also a time for the kids to relax and recharge. Enjoy your time with them and have a fantastic summer vacation.

Thanks for sharing this article. Bye the way, I love Khan Academy because the math videos are absolutely amazing. I read it on another blog that 90% of the videos are taken in a single shot. Just imagine, how much hard work these guys are putting in.
