Diversity in Waldorf Education: CultureALL is a Des Moines organization that encourages cultural diversity and understanding in classrooms around Iowa.
Kristie Burns’ class, The Middle East Marketplace (part of the Fifth Grade Ancient Cultures Block), was featured in the Des Moines Register this week. See the article and pictures below…
The “Middle East Marketplace” is included in the Earthschooling Fifth Grade Curriculum as PDF lessons and videos! You can see a description of our full fifth grade package below:
Fifth graders connect history lessons with their growing athletic prowess in a Greek-style Olympics in the spring. In geography they expand out to the United States and North America. In science they study plant life with botany. The math curriculum now includes decimals, percentages, and practical business math skills, as well as the introduction of geometry. Music, handwork and foreign language study become increasingly challenging.
The study of history brings the child into him or herself by beginning in ancient times and working up to the present day. Geography brings the child into the world by starting locally and expanding to the whole planet.
All of your curriculum materials including mp3s and video tutorials are available through a teacher portal immediately after you make your purchase.
Why do we call this a “Curriculum Experience” ? Because when you purchase Earthschooling curriculum you not only receive a full curriculum (without the need to purchase any additional materials) but you also receive:
