In fourth grade, kids are learning important new skills in geography, social studies and math--and your family trip can be a fabulous time to reinforce them.
Medieval Cathedrals: Stained Glass and the Art of Architecture
Get inspired by the beautiful stained glass windows of Medieval cathedrals and make your own work of art out of materials you can find right in your home. This activity is perfect for a summer day when there's nothing to do, and you'll learn a little history while you're at it!
Sew a Colorful Amish Potholder
The careful measurements and piecing of quilting happen to provide outstanding practice in spatial reasoning and early geometry. Quilting is also a great way to connect with the past hands-on. Help your fourth grader stitch all these ideas together by letting them quilt something of their own.
