CAMBRIDGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
2015-2016
SUMMER MATH PROJECT
For students entering 3rd Grade
Welcome to all the 2nd graders who will be in 3rd grade in August. This past year you have
learned a lot of cool things in math. We would like to see what your wonderful 2nd grade
teachers have taught you and we don’t want you to forget anything during this summer break.
Here are some math practice sheets for you to complete over the summer. Be sure to
complete all sheets. You can do this over the course of your summer break. By doing these
sheets, you will be preparing for success in 3rd grade Math! Be sure to bring your packet on the
first day of school and turn it in so that you can get credit for your summer work.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you this next school year!
Have a great summer!
Mrs. Van Ost
Cambridge Christian School Summer Reading List
Students entering Third Grade 2015 – 2016
Summer vacation is almost here! I hope that you make it a time to rest,
relax, and read, but above all enjoy! Reading, like a sport, involves practice
and skill. Real skill building occurs when children read for pleasure, when too
easy, and when children can explore books about topics that interest them.
The more they practice with someone’s encouragement, suggestions, and
praise, the better and more confident readers they will become.
Tips to encourage reading:
Set aside a regular family reading time or read aloud time.
Recognize that your child’s own choice and interests are important
ingredients toward reading enjoyment.
Don’t forget to pack a book wherever you go.
Encourage and help your child succeed with reading but do not push or
expect too much too soon.
Please have students choose ONE fiction book and ONE nonfiction book
to read, and then complete the given activities. These activities are due the
first day of school and are to be turned your child’s homeroom teacher.
