Fall into a New Book

Fall Break Homework Packet

Dear Parent(s),

Your child has been learning many new skills in 3rd grade. To help your child maintain what has been taught during Fall break, we have compiled a homework packet that reinforces the skills and strategies learned in class.  It is very important that your child completes these assignments, as it reinforces the skills they will be assessed on both the Reading and Math ISAT tests. 

Your child will need to complete the following activities before returning to school on October 17, 2011.

Enjoy your break!
