Once your school makes a purchase all the teachers at your school will have online access for life. This package is also fully downloadable. Theme: “Reality” – Thoughts Switch from Imagination to Intellectual (Cause and Effect). Cultivate Skills to Guide them in their New Thought Processes. Children at this age are gaining a firmer relationship with the world they inhabit and want a more solid grasp on reality. At twelve, the child experiences another change.
At this age the thinking begins to change from the picture building of the child to the intellectual (logical or cause and effect thinking) of the adult. However, it is only beginning, and science makes a memorable gateway to the awakening intellect for the child in pre-puberty. They study geology and begin physics with the exploration of optics and acoustics and the properties of heat, magnetism and electricity. In mathematics they learn to apply the basic processes to practical situations. They study ratios and begin algebra. English covers the writing of business and personal letters.
Geography covers Central and South America. Sixth graders learn about the structural basis of modern society with the study of Roman law. 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: I've been sharing my notes since 2005.

Thank you! If you can only afford the essentials, these are the two things -- and the only 2 things -- that you need to develop your homeschool curriculum. Both of these resources cover grades 1 through 12. (And, don't worry, you can still do a FANTASTIC job!) The Educational Tasks & Content of the Steiner Waldorf Curriculum In sixth grade, the 11/12 year-old is usually beginning to experience the onset of puberty.
Growth happens at an increasingly rapid rate and the child often goes through a time of alarm, not recognizing who he or she is anymore. Just as a single example, somewhere during the time of puberty a girl’s larynx grows to three times its original size and a boy’s, seven times its original size. This growth rate will never be repeated in the life span of human development. Along with this physical growth comes a wonderful burst of new capacities of judgement. Sixth graders can be very fine company, capable of interesting insight and discussion. However, it is important to keep in mind that they are still children.
Rome is the literary/cultural focus of the curriculum in grade 6. Lawfulness becomes an important anchor for the sixth grader. Clear structure, consequences for law breaking, and contracts for increasing responsibility are the best for helping a child through the difficult range of feelings that burst forth at this age. Keeping the child energetically concentrated on the work of learning is therapeutic and teaches the child that work helps tangled feelings move forward and lighten. To listen sympathetically to the upsets inevitable at this time, and then to re-focus on work to be done constitutes good practice for these youngsters. They are relying on adults for this.
“Contracts toward increasing responsibility,” is a good “slogan” for sixth graders: once work is completed, negotiations and privileges can begin!Download a PDF of Grade 6 Book Recommendations A Handbook for Waldorf Class Teachers Kevin Avison Awakening Intelligence Magda Lisseau Evaluation, Homework, and Teacher’s Support David Mitchell, ed.
