Patterns

Dear Third and Fourth Graders,


As the 2023-2024 school year comes to an end, the 3/4 teachers would like to wish you all a safe and happy summer. We would also like to see you exercise your brain, while enjoying fun in the sun. This Summer Packet will enrich your vacation and help you to prepare for your return to school..



Our theme for the next school year is PATTERNS.

What is a pattern?

How do patterns help you make predictions?

How do patterns influence behavior?


As you enjoy your summer, try and notice patterns.

Do you notice characters in the books you read changing and

adapting to different patterns? Do you notice patterns in the

weather? Do you notice any patterns among the creatures that

visit your garden?


This packet includes the following activities:

☐ Independent Reading (Required)

☐ Favorite Family Summer Memory (Required)

☐ Math Khan Academy (Required)

☐ Summer Learning Bingo Board (Optional)

☐ Reflections Contest ( Optional )

Details of these assignments are given in the following pages.


We look forward to seeing you in the fall, refreshed and ready to learn together again!


Sincerely,


BCS 3rd/ 4th Team
