Grade 5 Summer Review

This page contains resources and ideas compiled by grade 4 teachers to help as students transition to grade 5 in the fall. Returning students may also access their Freckle accounts.

• Connect with a King County Library or participate in the Bear Creek Libraries' Summer Reading Program.
• Keep a book in hand at all times! What great literature will you read over the summer? Here are some book lists to help you choose:
  • Literature Talk handout
  • Historical Fiction book list
  • Guided Reading book lists
• Read Story of the World: Early Modern Times Volume 3 and Story of the World: The Modern Age Volume 4 by Susan Wise Bauer to extend the history learned in fourth grade.
• Fun pillow fun activity! Since we were unable to make reading pillows this year in fourth grade, enjoy making this keepsake as a family this summer.
• Keep a summer journal of all the fun things you do with your family!
• Bible reading challenge! We explored the Gospel of Matthew in fourth grade. Over the summer pick another Gospel to read through and talk about with your family.
• Pick a pen pal in your grade level and write a letter or email to them! Be sure to include:
  • a friendly greeting
  • something fun you did recently
  • something you are looking forward to
  • a question
  • warm farewell
