Lower School

Grades K5-4th Grade

For grades K5-4th Grade, summer work is optional. We hope you can view summer work as a tool and not a task. It's here if you need it.

The selections for each grade were chosen to support students in keeping their skillsets sharp over the break. Whether your child is hoping to strengthen certain skills, build confidence, or simply enjoy brushing up, our teachers selected packets that they believe our students will benefit from.

Please see the below links for Grades K5-4th Optional Summer Work.

5th Grade

For students entering 5th grade, there are two required summer assignments:

Reading Assignment

Students will read Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo and complete one activity from the Novel Choice Board. This project helps build reading comprehension and prepares students for class discussions at the beginning of the year.

Math Assignment

Students will complete the Daily Math Calendar, which includes one short math problem for each day of the summer. This consistent practice helps keep math skills fresh and supports a strong start to the school year.

Both the reading and math assignments are required and should be completed by the first week of school. All materials are linked above for easy access.

There are hard copies of this assignment and extra copies of the novel in the Upper School Front Office. If you have any questions about either part, don’t hesitate to reach out to Leslie McCants at lmccants@lowcountryprep.org.
