Kids in 4th grade are so helpful and knowledgeable. They can do so much! They read and write fluently. They’re so eager. They start to become quite independent.

I highly recommend the books by Louise Bates Ames. A good guide to follow is What Your Fourth Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Fourth-Grade Education by E.D. Hirsch, Jr.

My eldest in 4th grade:

• Tapestry of Grace 4 for humanities
• Apologia Flying Creatures
• Singapore Math 4

My middle girls in 4th grade:

• Tapestry of Grace 4 for humanities
• Great Depression Unit Study
• Apologia Astronomy and Botany
• Backyard Pond Unit Study
• Singapore Math 4
• Life of Fred

My son in 4th grade:

• Tapestry of Grace 4 for humanities
• Apologia Chemistry and Physics
• Singapore Math 4
• Life of Fred
• Prima Latina
• Wright Brothers Unit Study

I love seeing my kids grow in late elementary and begin asking hard questions and critical thinking.
