Grade 4 Life Skills

About Grade 4 Life Skills

Grade 4 life skills (4th grade, ages 9–10) is 20 lessons in 5 units: In the Kitchen (lessons 1–4), Food, Garden and Money (lessons 5–8), Home Care and Repairs (lessons 9–12), Ready for Emergencies (lessons 13–16), and finally Get Around and Get Organized (lessons 17–20). Along the way, children learn to record every spend with the date, what it was, and how much, name electricity and heat as the two dangers when changing a bulb and explain what a go-bag is and why it stays by the door.

Start here: Lesson 1: Cook Eggs on the Stove is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.

Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist — about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
