Golden Valley Tahoe School

The second grade is working hard to refine their writing skills and are getting ready to learn cursive through running forms in form drawing. We are also practicing our addition and subtraction into the 100,000's and will learn all about borrowing in subtraction beginning next week. -Caron Kotalik, 2nd grade teacher #gvforpublicwaldorf #publicwaldorfeducation #waldorfeducation #gvforpublicwaldorftruckee #truckee #goldenvalleytahoeschool #waldorfcharterschool

First graders have entered into a new learning expedition all about the four math processes: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They are exploring the mathematical "Land of Numerica" and are meeting characters in our story that will enable them to use each of these operations. Additionally, first graders are exploring the morality side of these processes and are learning characteristics of each process, through sharing, giving, collecting, and taking. -Jen Poe, First Grade teacher. #gvforpublicwaldorf #gvforpublicwaldorftruckee #goldenvalleytahoeschool #waldorf #publicwaldorfeducation #truckee#waldorfcharterschool

Ms. Kotalik guided first through third grade students with beeswax class this week.
