Hayfield Elementary Fourth Grade At-Home Learning
Activities
Dear Parents and Students,
In the event that the school needs to close, the students are to
work on and complete the activities below in order to keep up to
date with our studies and continue our preparations for the
upcoming SOL tests. Beside each subject are key SOL review
activities. Below each subject are other activities for your child to
complete which also support our curriculum.
Social Studies- The students are to continue studying the
flashcards in the SOL review packet. There will be quizzes on the
cards upon the students return to school.
 Keep a journal as though you were living in Jamestown, the
Revolutionary War, the Civil War, or another relevant time period in
Virginia History.
Language Arts- The students are to continue to read for at least 30
minutes a day and record it on their reading logs.
 Write a two to three paragraph response about what
they are reading each day while they are out of school. Focus on the
responses on predictions, connections, visualizations, etc. These logs
and the responses will be collected upon the students return to school.
Math- The students are to continue to work on their SOL review
packets and turn them into their teachers upon return to school.
 Find angles in your house and label them as obtuse, acute or right
angles.
 Think of a survey question. (For example: What is your favorite
___________? What month were you born in? Where were you born?
How many brothers and sisters do you have?). Collect your data by
asking this question to several people. Create a graph to show the
data.
 Choose a favorite family recipe that has at least seven ingredients.
Show how much is needed for each ingredient if you cut the recipe in
half. How much is needed if you double the recipe.
Science-
 Find plants outside your house and draw and identify the important
plant parts: pistil, stamen, leaves, petals, stems, roots, etc.
 Make a chart and record the weather each day.
SOL Released Tests:
Copies of the Fourth Grade SOL released tests can be found at the
two web sites on the following page. Just click on the appropriate
fourth grade test and print it out. Have your child sit down in a
quiet area to complete the test independently. When your child is
finished, they can then bring it to you to score. (The answers will
also print out when you print the test.) You may then review your
child’s answers with them. Have your child bring in any
completed tests to school upon their return so that his/her teacher
can also review the results.
2007 – (The reading and math SOLs were already completed in
school, but the history SOL is here.)
