Notes from gr.6 Geometric Drawing Block

I prefer to do String, Straight-edge & Shadow: The Story of Geometry as its own block and then schedule time for a separate Geometric Drawing block. Last year we didn't attempt Geometric Drawing in the Outdoor Classroom, so we are circling back now and devoting some time on it. First, a bit of review!

These notes will be updated as we go along.
