Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Windham Public Schools recognizes a significant body of academic research that suggests academic
skills are lost during summer vacation. The brain, like any other muscle in our bodies, becomes weaker
without the daily practice it receives during the school year. The term often used to describe this
phenomenon is the “summer slide”. Since our district strives to ensure our vision of “Every student, every
day, in every classroom will be deeply engaged in their own learning, challenged by high expectations,
supported by staff, family, and community, and will graduate with the competence and confidence needed for
success”, it is necessary for our students to continue practicing academic skills during the summer. In
addition to the academic benefits gained by summer practice, students Pre K-12th grade who complete both
their reading and math practice assignments and hand them in during the first week of school will be invited
to attend a Summer Learning Celebration in the fall.
Parents and guardians, we thank you in advance for your help ensuring your children continue to learn and
grow throughout the summer vacation. If you have any questions related to Summer Learning, please do not
hesitate to contact Dr. Tracy A. Youngberg at (860) 465-2535 or [email protected].
Additional information can also be found on our district website www.windhamps.org.

Estimados Padres y Encargados:
Las Escuelas Públicas de Windham reconocen una investigación significativa por parte del sistema
educativo académico, la cual sugiere que lo que los estudiantes han aprendido durante el año escolar
pueda que una parte se pierda durante las vacaciones de verano. El cerebro, como cualquier otro
musculo en nuestros cuerpos, se debilita al no tener la práctica diaria que este ha recibido durante el
año escolar. El término que es usado frecuentemente para este fenómeno es el “resbalón de verano”.
Dado que nuestro distrito escolar se esfuerza por asegurar de que nuestra visión “Cada Estudiante,
Cada Día, en Cada Salón de Clase estará profundamente comprometido en su propio aprendizaje,
desafiado por las altas expectativas educacionales, apoyado por el personal docente, la familia y la
comunidad, y logrará graduarse con la capacidad y confianza necesaria para el éxito”, es necesario
que nuestros estudiantes continúen practicando sus habilidades académicas durante el verano.
Además de los beneficios académicos obtenidos durante la práctica de verano, los estudiantes que
comenzarán en los grados Pre K – 12 y que completen ambas tareas/asignaciones de lectura y
matemáticas, y estas sean entregadas durante la primera semana de clases serán invitados a asistir a
la “Celebración de Aprendizaje de Verano” en el otoño.
Deseo agradecer de antemano a los Padres y Encargados por toda la ayuda que les darán a sus niños
para asegurarse que continúen su aprendizaje y sigan creciendo durante este verano. Si tiene alguna
pregunta relacionada con el Aprendizaje de Verano, no dude en comunicarse con Dra. Tracy
Youngberg llamando al (860) 465-2535 o por correo electrónico [email protected].
Además, si desea más información la puede encontrar en nuestra página web www.windhamps.org.

Summer Reading 2019
Grades 6-8
Mission Statement
It is the intent of Windham Public Schools summer reading program to challenge students to become
lifelong readers and learners by encouraging them to read during non-instructional time. Through this
reading program, the school promotes intellectual stimulation, social awareness, diversity of viewpoints, and
independent thinking.
Summer Reading Instructions:
This is your first graded assignment due September 6th.
Fiction book- Choose from Summer Reading Committee list or the Nutmeg Book Award list *50
points*
Parents/Guardians & Students: While we are strongly encouraging students choose books from the
suggested reading lists, we are most interested in students reading from “good fit books” this summer.
Please use your judgement to ensure students are actively reading.
1) Preview your book selection.
2) Choose from the list of books. Make sure you’ve chosen one “just right” for you. “Just right” means
not too easy, not too hard, and interesting.
3) Review the list of ideas for projects and select one that interests you.
Keep in mind you must explain why you chose each image or event to present. Your choices
should reflect the following:
● Plot (What happens in the story?)
● Characters (Who are they? What part do they play?)
● Setting (Where and when does the book take place?)
● Theme (What message is the author trying to convey?)
● Significance (How does this connect to your own life and personal experiences?)
Second book- Nonfiction. *50 points* (Any non-fiction of your choice.)
Create a written Critique. Write a critique of the book. What are some of the positive
characteristics of your book? What could the author have done better? Should other students read this
book? Who would it be perfect for?
*Copies of books will be available for checkout at the Willimantic Public Library*

Summer Reading Project Options
Soundtrack/Playlist- Think about the main character(s) in your book and the situations they have been
through. Or few specific scenes that really stood out to you. What do you think the playlist to
those moments would sound like? Choose five songs and print out the lyrics. In a full
paragraph for EACH song, explain how the song directly relates to the moments you’ve chosen.
Make sure you include why each song may relate to the plot, characters, setting, theme, or
significance of the story.
Picture/Comic Book – Create a picture book or comic book version of the story that keeps the essential
parts of the plot. Illustrations must help tell the story and be relevant parts of the book. The
project must be at least 10 pages/frames with 2-3 sentences minimum per page/frame.
In the News! - Create the front page of a newspaper that tells about events and characters in your book.
The newspaper might include weather reports (that relate to the book), and advertisements from
at least 2 things in the book. (example: a wand advertisement for the book Harry Potter.) The
title of the newspaper should be something appropriate to the book. Include 1 paragraph about
why someone should read this book.
Movie Trailer or Filmed Key Scene- Become the writer and director you’ve always wanted to be! Turn in
a script to accompany your trailer or key scene. You may choose friends to help you, but all of
you are responsible for your own Summer Reading Project. Your movie should follow your
script exactly. Be sure you portray the characters, plot, setting, theme, and significance of your
book. Add a soundtrack if necessary plus credits. Your film must be between three and seven
minutes.
Points:
Fiction Project…..…...50 points.
Non-fiction Project......50 points

Math 6
Summer Student
Enrichment Packet
WINDHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Summer 2019
Note to the Student
You learned so much in Grade 5! It is important that you keep practicing
your math skills over the summer to be ready for your 6th grade math class.
In this packet, you will find weekly activities for the summer break.
MATH 6
Every Student. Every Day, in Every Classroom 16 | P a g e
Directions:
➢ For each week you should:
❖ Show your work.
❖ Have a clear and complete answer that explains your thinking.
❖ Be neat and organized.
➢ Pay attention to the gray boxes that you see at the beginning of each week’s activities.
Those boxes indicate the Common Core domain and standard that the subsequent
activities address. If you see a NON-CALCULATOR SYMBOL next to a gray
box, then do not use a calculator for the activities in that section!
Playing board and card games are a good way to reinforce basic computation skills and
mathematical reasoning. Try to play board and card games at least once a week. Some suggested
games to play are: Chess, War, Battleship, Mancala, Dominoes, Phase 10, Yahtzee, 24 Challenge,
Sudoku, KenKen, Connect Four, and Risk.
Where to Go to Get Help … or Practice! During the course of your math work this summer, you may need some assistance with
deepening your understanding of the skills and concepts. You also might want to get some more
practice. Here are some sites you can visit online:
To get the exact definition of each standard, go to
www.corestandards.org and search for the content standard (for
example, 7.NS.1a).
LearnZillion has video lessons on every Math
standard. Go to www.LearnZillion.com and search
for any math topic or standard.
Khan Academy has helpful videos and self-guided practice problems for every grade
level. Go to www.khanacademy.org to get started.
MATH 6
Every Student. Every Day, in Every Classroom 17 | P a g e
WEEK 1 || Number & Operations in Base Ten Standard 5.NBT.1: Recognize that in a
multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the
place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
Our place value system is structured like this:
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones Decimal Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
7 3 5 4 ▪ 6 8 8
The system is set up in “base ten.” So, each place is ten times as large as the place to its right.
For example, in the number 330, there are 3 hundreds and 3 tens. So, the 3 in the hundreds place has 10
times the value of the 3 in the tens place, because 30 x 10 = 300.
Can you advance through the three levels of the Base Ten Bonanza? Good Luck!
Compare the values of the digits in the number below.
Then choose True or False for each statement.
2.22
a.) 0.02 is 10 times 0.2. True False
b.) 2 is 10 times 0.02. True False
c.) 0.2 is 10 times 0.02. True False
d.) 0.2 is 10
1 of 2. True False
e.) 0.02 is 10
1 of 0.2. True False
f.) 2 is 10
1 of 0.2. True False

WEEK 2 || Number & Operations in Base Ten Standard 5.NBT.3: Read, write, and
compare decimals to thousandths.
Did you know that you can take a number and E-X-P-A-N-D it? Well, you can!
For example, let’s say you want to take the number 743.86 and E-X-P-A-N-D it.
You can do so by breaking down the number using the base 10. Like this:
743.86 is composed of:
whole number parts: 700 + 40 + 3
and
decimal parts: 0.8 + 0.06
In table form using decimals, it looks like this:
700 → 7 x 100
40 → 4 x 10
3 → 3 x 1
0.8 → 8 x 0.1
0.06 → 6 x 0.01
743.86
Using fractions, the expanded form of the number is:
7 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 3 x 1 + 8 x 10
1 + 6 x
100
1
Using fractions like the example above, write the following numbers in expanded form:
1) 6.741
2) 98.48
3) 473.9
4) 9.1042
5) 76.07
6) 20.001

Every Student. Every Day, in Every Classroom 19 | P a g e
WEEK 3 || Number & Operations in Base Ten Standard 5.NBT.3: Read, write, and
compare decimals to thousandths.
When comparing decimals, use a place-value chart to line up the decimal places and ensure that each
decimal is given the same number of places.
For example: Race Car Driver 1 completed a lap in 28.9 seconds and Race Car Driver 2 completed a
lap in 28.889 seconds. Which driver took less time to complete a lap?
In comparing the numbers, Driver 2 completed the lap in slightly less time than
Driver 1 – just 0.011 seconds!
Drag racers are super-fast race cars! The winning times of drag races are usually under 10 seconds and
the difference between the finishing times of cars is frequently very small!
It’s your job to use the <, >, or = symbol to compare each pair of times. The lesser time wins the race!
Add placeholder zeros to help you compare!
Example:
4.2 ____ 4.203
4.200 ____ 4.203
4.200 is less than 4.203, so 4.200 __<__ 4.203
1) 8.01 ___ 8.1 2) 2.025 ___ 2.205
3) 10.12 ___ 10.012 4) 9.75 ___ 9.755
5) 8.091 ___ 8.291 6) 6.2 ___ 6.200
7) 9.9 ___ 9.899 8) 8.99 ___ 8.991

WEEK 4 || Number & Operations in Base Ten Standard 5.NBT.4: Use place value
understanding to round decimals to any place.
Do you remember your rounding rules? Here is one song that teaches the rounding rules:
Find your place (Circle the place of the number you are rounding)
Look RIGHT next door
Five or greater, add one more
Four or less, stays the same
Numbers behind, zero’s your name.
When you round a number, you are finding a number that is close to the given number.
Example:
Round 8.526 to the nearest:
• Whole number (Look RIGHT next door: The 5 in the tenths place tells you to round the 8 in the
ones place up to a 9) Answer → _9_
• Nearest tenth (Look RIGHT next door: The 2 in the hundredths place tells you to keep the 5 in the
tenths place) Answer → _8.5_
• Nearest hundredth (Look RIGHT next door: The 6 in the thousandths place tells you to round the 2
in the hundredths place up to a 3) Answer → _8.53_
1) 1.8453
Round the above number to the:
Nearest whole number _____________ Nearest tenth _____________
Nearest hundredth _____________ Nearest thousandth _____________
2) 13.2607
Round the above number to the:
Nearest whole number _____________ Nearest tenth _____________
