Fourth Grade Students and Families at South Lake,

In this chaotic time, the 4th grade teachers want to make sure you are all safe and healthy.  In an attempt to keep our minds sharp, some work and activities have been compiled for you to practice until we can see each other again!  This weekly work is meant to be a review of skills already learned and not a way to teach what would be taught if we were in class. We understand that every family is different and hope that the work, suggested schedule, and activities help to make these weeks off more structured and educational.
