Thinking and learning about the Waldorf approach to education.
YARN - From the (shorter) Oxford English Dictionary:
Spun fibre of cotton, silk, wool, or flax.... fibre prepared for use in weaving, knitting...a fisherman's net...any of the strands of which a rope is composed...a (usually long or rambling) story or tale, especially an implausible, fanciful, or incredible one.
One day not too long ago, I had occasion to go back to the school after the children had all gone home and the yard was empty - or so i thought. I happened upon the teachers in the yard having their own little May Fair and I grabbed a few moments of the magic with my phone.
I have written about May Fair before and this video includes images from years past.
I am the parent of two children early in their school years. I have a background in education which compels me to think about these things and to want to talk about them. The only time I have for this seems to be in the wee hours, so I'll try to blog about the experience of learning about Waldorf while my children learn through Waldorf.
Why Waldorf? My children are happy, engaged and enriched, I think it makes me a better parent and - this is the school I wish I had gone to.
