Curriculum Areas/Learning Standards
Math
Concept: Properties of objects and shapes can be described, measured, and compared using volume, area, perimeter, and angle.
Connection: Your child will work with these concepts in their Grade 6 math workbook. They will learn how to copy and construct angles and shapes using a compass.
Language Arts
Concept: Questioning what we hear, read, and view contributes to our ability to be educated and engaged citizens.
Connection: Have a regular morning conversation with your child, checking in about information on current events they have heard from friends, newspapers, or television. Find out their opinion on it and support healthy questioning.
Social Studies
Concept: Media sources can both positively and negatively affect our understanding of important events and issues.
Connection: As you connect with your child on days 1-5 regarding current events that they are learning about from various media sources, it is important that they come to understand that we must consider the source of the news and whether there is a bias and what it might be.
Science
Concept: Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment.
Connection: Have your child investigate what our body systems need for survival. Perhaps this can be connected to the current events they are hearing about and questioning. Demonstrate a sustained curiosity about a scientific topic or problem of personal interest. Conduct a scientific inquiry. The following is a breakdown of the steps in a scientific inquiry. Your child will be guided through these steps from days 6-15.

Curriculum Overview
In the Daily Wonder curriculum, form drawing and practice in free hand drawing of shapes occurs until the end of Grade 5. Once the child reaches Grade 6, the tools for precision geometry are introduced. The child is ready for the skills required to bring such precision to the page. The Geometry unit brings a wonderful balance of precision and beauty. The progression of geometric constructions gets more sophisticated as you move through the unit. This can bring up an array of feelings, as your child meets the challenges. As always, Daily Wonder guides you, the parent, to help your child learn from the emotional experiences arising. Not only is the geometry an important lesson, but how your child meets the lesson, and how they feel about themselves as they are in a process of learning, becomes an even more important lesson for life.
The constructions are an exercise in self-discipline and focus. The decoration of the form is an opportunity to express creative personality. Encourage your child to have fun and take the time to bring the beauty of the form into its fullest potential. Doing an online search of Waldorf Grade 6 Geometry can be an inspiration for your child.
