Recommendation for students in grade 4 from the Ministry regarding at-home learning is 5 hours per week focusing on language, math, science, and social studies
If it helps here is a quick outline for 5 hours or 300 minutes per week:
daily review of spelling words and exercises (see spelling section) (15 mins. each day total 75 mins. per week)
daily reading  - even if they are reading comics etc. they are still reading (see weekly At-home lessons for books and read alouds) (15 mins. each day total 75 mins. per week)
math - review of math facts and specific areas (see weekly At-home lessons for math strands) (15 mins. each day total 75 mins. per week)
science - (see weekly At-home lessons for math strands) (15 mins. each day total 75 mins. per week)
social Studies - (see weekly At-home lessons for math strands) (15 mins. each day total 75 mins. per week)
 
Anything above this is great too... I have also included Heath Living, DPA, Art, Music and Dance activities in each of the At-home lessons as well as links for extra learning opportunities including worksheets, learning videos in all of the math strands and science strands...

September Scenarios
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Education Stephen Lecce announced the government’s plan for the reopening of schools in the fall. The plan includes three options: the continuation of learning at home; a return to in-school instruction with enhanced health and safety protocols; and, an adaptive learning model that features a combination of learning at home and in-school instruction with limited class sizes and alternating days and/or weeks.

The adaptive learning model, as outlined by Minister Lecce, provides for a maximum of 15 students per classroom per day. It also requires students to register prior to the start of the school year so that class assignments and timetables can be set in advance. If the adaptive learning model is selected for the start of the 2020-21 school year, the decision will be re-evaluated at the end of September based on direction from the Ontario Medical Officer of Health as well as local health officials.

Over the next month, the Ministry of Education is asking all publicly funded school boards in Ontario to develop operational plans to match the three options announced today. Grand Erie District School Board staff will have operational plans and protocols in place for all three options by the end of July. The Board will share specific details on Grand Erie’s back-to-school plans with students and families in August.

Grand Erie’s school-year calendar for 2020-21 has not yet been approved by the Ministry of Education. Currently, the first day of school is set for Tuesday, September 8.
