The following are some summertime ideas to help prepare your Fourth Grader for the new school year.
SOCIAL STUDIES Our curriculum will cover many aspects of the history, geography, industry, and settlers of Pennsylvania. This summer would be a great time to plan visits to the many historical sites and museums in the Delaware Valley.
Some websites that may be of interest are:

ELA Visit your local library and join one of their summer programs.
RELIGION In Fourth Grade we learn several guides to help us live according to God's way. We study the Commandments, Beatitudes, and the Works of Mercy. We also celebrate the feasts of the Liturgical Year.
