I have been gathering all my books and supplies the last few weeks. It has started to look like a Waldorf store in here! I am planning First grade for my twin girls.. It is the first "real" year, since Waldorf Education really begins in First Grade. We have been doing basic rhythms and circle time, handcrafts and stories the last 3 years to establish a gentle flow.
For me, planning becomes an important part. In the past, when I had a basic outline with supplies ready -it all went smoothly. The time I thought I could wing it, not so smooth. So, this year I am determined to plan through the end of the school year even if we don't follow exactly.
Any tips on planning or ideas you have are welcome!

Our eldest will be following first grade too. Happy planning!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, I'm looking forward to following along here and seeing how the planning and school year goes. We are doing 3rd grade and an early, unofficial K with our two girls. Great picture of the pile of books! And I really like your girls Red Riding Hood pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Isn't the planning fun! I've done more inner work in preparation for this school year than my whole life, I think.
ReplyDeleteWe're using Melisa's materials too and have boys in 4th & K (and a wee girlie too young for any of it yet.)
