  • The Anthroposophical concept of the seven-year-periods of development throughout the life of a human being
  • Characteristics of the child in fourth grade and how the curriculum supports them in this stage of development
  • Why we talk about Waldorf “guidelines” rather than a strict Waldorf “curriculum”
  • Norse myths and sagas in fourth grade
  • Studying the animal kingdom and ecology
  • Geography and mapmaking
  • Ways of teaching fractions kinesthetically so the children don’t struggle with the concepts
