I love how educational opportunities can so naturally be woven into our day-to-day life, and I’m excited to give you a glimpse into what that looks like in our house during the fourth-grade year.
I’m going to share my favorite resources, teaching strategies, and planning tips – things that have worked well in our learning environment – let’s get started!
Language Arts – Abeka’s phonics program was used to teach me to read, and as a classroom teacher, this was hands-down my favorite phonics/reading program to use with students.
Handwriting – In fourth-grade year, we focus on neatness in our form as well as exploring practical opportunities for using cursive writing in everyday life.
Math – Usborne Activity Books have been great for extra reinforcement – with Abeka’s math curriculum being our go-to throughout the year. Abeka’s program makes it easy for me to teach concepts for my kids.
Music – When my oldest started kindergarten, we kicked things off with piano lessons at a local studio where he worked along in the “Teaching Little Fingers to Play” book.
