7th and 8th graders culminate their geography blocks with a “global potluck.”
On the final day of school, many of the grades culminate in mini-celebrations of their own. While some of the classes host a brief performance of songs, others prepare for potlucks that bring parents and students together before the break. This year, the seventh and eighth grade classes completed their geography blocks, studying Europe and Asia respectively; after finishing their presentations on each country or region, the students provided a unique dish to represent the culinary traditions of the region, bridging the holiday festivities and classroom academics in a truly hands-on Waldorf fashion.
Pasadena Waldorf School, founded in 1979, offers an inspired education to students from Early Childhood (Parent-Child, Preschool, and Kindergarten) through Grade Eleven (and grade twelve in 2015-2016). With ninety years of experience and over 1000 schools worldwide, Waldorf education is one of the world’s fastest growing independent school movements.
