Fourth Graders
We hope to foster within
our children :
Independence
Responsibility
Organization
![Page 4: Transition to 4th Grade PowerPoint 2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/558793bfd8b42a6e0b8b4651/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Independence Give them a job to do, show them how,
and let them follow through.
Encourage independent acts like doing
chores without being asked, paying for
items at the store, keeping track of their
own things and picking up after
themselves.
Foster competence by teaching them jobs
they are able and ready to do – make a
bed, use a tool, cook a meal, or make a
snack.

Responsibility Help them accept responsibility when
they are wrong. Let them know we all
learn from mistakes.
Give them long-term projects that
take more than one day to do and let
them be responsible for it. Let them
feel the pride of a job well done.
Praise them for following through.

Organization Show them how to organize at home and
let them practice. First a sock drawer,
then a desk drawer, then parts of their
room…
Show them how you organize for home
and work (e.g. your calendar, your
briefcase, your home office)
“A place for everything, and everything in
its place.”

Language Arts Things to do over the summer vacation:
Read regularly -- by yourself and with others!
Practice reading aloud to build fluency; and try to read like a storyteller…
use expression to make the story interesting!
Think about what you’re reading. While you read, write questions on sticky
notes to “talk to the text” and enhance understanding.
Talk about text, as well... retell and summarize… make predictions,
connections, and inferences… compare and contrast characters… evaluate
author’s purpose… imagine an epilogue to share with friends…
Write, write, write!!!
Keep a daily or weekly journal to collect memories of your summer
adventures and experiences. Add pictures and design a cover. Make your
journal your own unique creation to reflect your personality!
Find a spot to do creative writing. Share imaginative ideas and stories, write
about whatever your heart desires.
Practice writing your cursive letters and focus on neat handwriting.
