Everglades K-8 Center
Fourth Grade Summer Activity List
Incoming 2015-2016 Fourth Grade Students
Assignments are due to the teacher the second week of school and they will be graded.
1) Required Summer Reading:
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
Students are to complete the attached reflection questions after reading the book and
turn it into their reading/language arts teacher the second week of school.
2) Required Summer Math Packet:
Students are to complete the attached math packet and turn it into their math teacher
the second week of school.
It is extremely important that students study and MEMORIZE their multiplication facts
(0-12) each night for 10-15 minutes. Students who do not know their basic multiplication
facts by memory have a tendency to struggle in math since many of the 4 th grade math
skills require mastery of the facts.
Below are some OPTIONAL activities that your child may do over the summer to help
him/her be a successful 4th grade student.
Reading/Writing:
Obtain a library card at the local public library. Visit the library at least 3 times
during the summer.
Check out summer reading programs at the local library. The public library
offers many fun and educational activities that encourage students to read over
the summer.
Have your child keep a travel diary of any places they visit over the summer.
They should include descriptions of what they saw and did, who they went with,
and anything interesting they learned.
Encourage your child to read for at least 15-20 minutes each day.
On long road trips, listen to the audio versions of books (they are available at the
public library for downloads).

Math/Science:
Cook with your child. Have him/her help you follow recipes and measure out
ingredients using measuring cups and measuring spoons. Ask him/her how
much of each ingredient they would need if you doubled the recipe? Tripled it?
At the supermarket, have your child weigh fruits and vegetables using the
market scales in the produce department. Ask him/her to read the weight off the
scale to you.
Read nutritional labels on food packaging. Discuss healthy choices such as low
fat, high fiber and protein.
At the beach, collect seashells, then sort and classify them by color, shape, size,
etc. Get a guide of Florida’s Coastal Birds and Sea Animals. Try to identify them
as you enjoy the ocean breeze.
Research the tides with your child. Why do they get high and low at certain times
of the day?
Observe! Observe! Observe! Have your child turn off video games and play
outside in the yard where he/she can observe the tiny miracles of nature – birds
searching for food, various types of foliage and blooms, and different species of
insects.
Keep a “Moon Journal”: Observe the moon in the sky each day (once in the
morning and once in the evening). Record the date, the morning and evening
times, and sketch what the moon looks like. Write your observations. Do this
every day for one month. What patterns do you notice?
Social Studies:
Visit local museums such as the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and
Vizcaya.
When on vacation, have your child read travel brochures of attractions and
history of the place(s) you are visiting. Have them locate their travel
destination(s) on a map and determine how far away from Miami they are.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the place they
are visiting and home.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
By Judy Blume
Answer the following reflection questions. Each response should consist of a
well developed paragraph. Be sure to check your grammar and punctuation.
1) Fudge drives Peter crazy sometimes, but deep down he really loves his
younger brother. What evidence in the story shows Peter gets annoyed by
Fudge? What evidence shows Peter also loves his younger brother?
2) What were some of the “tricks” Peter and his parents played on Fudge to
get him to behave properly. Was this fair to Fudge? Why or why not? Use
evidence from the story to support your answer.
3. Fudge jumps off of a swing because he thinks he can fly. How does his
mother react? Why do you think she blames Peter? Use evidence from
the story to support your answer.
