Local Geography Block

We finished up the Local Geography block around the first of the month...It was not a huge hit and we spent most of it on field trips which probably was the best way of handling it for my very wiggly 10 yr old. Iddy Biddy was resistant to beginning desk work and as always showed a bit of a back slide in her ability to focus and produce written work. Although she has officially "graduated" from occupational therapy fine motor work continues to be a struggle. Also a few relatives have asked: Biddy is officially a 4th grader, her summer b-day puts her in the middle of her age mates- her friends being split between 4th and 5th grade. The Waldorf curriculum assumes a slight older age than many public schools start at and has worked well for her. She did complete a few pages for her MLB but mostly we enjoyed some unusually gorgeous fall weather.
