Third Graders are required to read at least 5 books this summer. (Reading does not have to be selected from the list below.) Students should keep a list of the books they read to bring in on the first day of school. Incoming 3 rd graders are also required to complete a Draw and Write form for each of the 5 books read. The list of books and the Draw and Write forms should be turned in on the first day of school. The Draw and Write Form is at the bottom of the list.
Draw and Write Directions:
1. After finishing a book, please choose one topic to draw and write about.
2. Draw and write about your favorite character.
3. Draw and write about your favorite scene.
4. Draw and write about a connection you have with the story.
Things to remember:
- Pictures are better with color! Fill up the space. (Show us what you visualized!)
- Paragraphs begin with topic sentences.
- Don’t forget to indent!
- Use descriptive and complete sentences (About 4-6 sentences).
