I kind of miss it, but a lot of grade 5 was stuff we had already done plus I really wanted to use Life of Fred math (and it is an absolute hit with the boys). Jake wanted stronger science this year as well.<br><br>I do use block teaching for literature and other humanities learning, just not math and science. So each month we have a literature block that is approached using Waldorf/Enki methods. And I try to have a very simplified, Waldorf home life with a strong focus on daily/weekly/monthly rhythms and a strong connection to the seasons. And now we are finally moving into our best outdoor months and can reclaim the outdoors.<br><br>LOL, I guess I should really be blogging ....Sunshine Alternative Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17111855968940650979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193283976545098804.post-56412948009086667502010-10-05T14:48:18.197-07:002010-10-05T14:48:18.197-07:00Oh, my kiddos do their Math on the computer and I ...Oh, my kiddos do their Math on the computer and I love it. Honestly. I use Teaching Textbooks for math and it is really wonderful! For typing they are also on the computer... but everything else they are with me. Sigh... for everything there is a season, right?<br><br>ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193283976545098804.post-85262847183382904172010-10-05T14:46:39.173-07:002010-10-05T14:46:39.173-07:00Have a question for you... do you still do Live E...Have a question for you... do you still do Live Education? I quit and started Oak Meadow instead, and although it isn't near as 'Waldorf' as Live Ed, I am enjoying it much more so far because it is easier to follow. I just wanted to see if you stuck with it and how you were doing. I hope you are having a wonderful day!<br><br>Blessings,<br><br>ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.com
