Handwriting
TLS Books offers several different styles of handwriting worksheets to choose from. At this level, you'll want to begin precursive practice with the D'Nealian Style Handwriting Fonts, or move directly into the Cursive Handwriting Practice Sheets.
Alternatively, you can choose the spelling practice sheets provided by Plain and Not So Plain for 3rd grade. She offers regular print, cursive, and even left-handed worksheets. Your student can practice handwriting and get extra spelling practice at the same time!
Reading Comprehension
While there is lots of reading incorporated into The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, there may be some children who would like to read more. In that case, Plain and Not So Plain offers some very simple, straight-forward reading comprehension downloads that you can use with chapter books.
Math
Plain and Not So Plain offers a wonderful third-grade math program that covers all the topics needed in third grade, and then some, in a very straightforward manner. Simply print the workbook and complete one worksheet per day. Done!
FreeMathProgram.com also offers a comprehensive math course for the fourth grade that includes printable worksheets.
History & Geography
For history and geography, Under the Home has you completely covered.
For American History, you'll read through A History of the United States and Its People, which is a wonderful vintage text that kids love. Don't forget to download the activity book that goes along with the course.
In World History, you'll read The Story of Mankind. This course also has a downloadable activity book.
And in Geography you can choose between First Lessons in World Geography or The Boy Travelers - Africa. Each lesson for both books includes a lesson guide online that you can use to guide you through each lesson.
Science
For Science you'll stay with Under the Home where you'll study trees using J.J. Levison's Studies of Trees. The course also includes a lesson guide with vocabulary words, discussion questions, activities, and quizzes as well as a notebooking journal that you can print and use.
Extras
These extras are for the purpose of adding fun to your day, developing the interests of your child, or filling free time in productive ways. It's important to note that these extras are just that . . . extras. They are not required material for third grade (at least in most states–be sure to check your local state homeschooling laws).
Art
Under the Home offers a Studio Art course that covers simple drawing methods.
Art for Kids Hub offers video tutorials on how to draw just about anything you can think of! They are great fun! Here's a sample:
Music
Under the Home has an Opera and Ballet course that includes 35 weeks of lessons. Each lesson includes vocabulary words, activities, discussion questions, and more.
PE
PE with Joe has been recording daily PE videos for kids since March 2020. As of this post, there are 78 videos available!
Cosmic Kids Yoga is a favorite with my kids. They LOVE the videos and yoga workouts, and I find that I can turn one of these on when the day is going a little haywire and the kids will be much more settled afterward. WIN! Here's a sample:
And there you have it! Everything you need to homeschool fourth grade completely FREE!
I hope you have a wonderful fourth-grade year!
