Dear Parents,
This fall your child will be entering third grade. I am requiring
that the following book be read and brought over summer vacation.
The Stories Julian Tells by Ann Cameron
Assignment: After reading the many stories that Julian shares in the book,
please chose one of the stories and answer the questions that pertain to that
particular story.
Questions:
1. Do you think the way Julian's father describes the pudding makes it even
more tempting to the boys? Write a tempting, mysterious description of some
food you like.
2. Make up a story about an invisible animal that helps people, the way
catalog cats do.
3. Why would a tree die if it didn't have any leaves? What kind of plants
would you like to have in a garden?
4. Were you scared when you first lost a tooth? How did it come out? Why do
you think Julian's dad makes up so many scary ways to help Julian lose his
tooth?
5. How did you meet your first friend? What happened that caused you to be
friends?
This book will be discussed in class upon their return to school. Please make
sure you have your own copy.
Let’s not forget those math skills. Use flashcards to practice
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. To practice telling time,
encourage your child to tell time on analog clocks during the summer.
Enjoy the summer. I look forward to meeting you in the fall.
Take Care,
Mrs. Brandt
