NEW FOR FALL 2010
Tayberry Grade Class
Two days a week
Wednesdays and Thursdays
designed for a class of 6 students
ages 5 to 6 years old
who share their day with a group of 6 younger children
in a mixed age setting.
This is a first grade class of students who will have
main lessons, handwork, arts, circle, music, and farm lessons
in the Waldorf Tradition of Education.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Each class meets from
9am - 2:30pm
Through the warm home-like atmosphere:
children learn to prepare healthy organic snacks & household tasks become alive and fun.
Experiencing language arts, arithmetic & form drawing through stories in main lesson blocks
connects the child to a deep level of understanding and promotes an intrinsic love of learning.
Creative hands-on art projects are the foundations for learning.
Discipline is created by gently guiding the child through developmentally appropriate social skills,
there are no punitive punishments or time-outs.
Nature, reverence for the earth, and time outdoors exploring are a large part of the daily rhythm.
All activities are hands-on and done with an experienced energetic teacher.
There will be no television or computer time.
Every moment is an opportunity for growth and nurturing.
Attaining knowledge is one purpose of the learning process, but just as important is to educate the heart and the will of the child, so that knowledge is joined with reverence and action. This is accomplished through seasonal observation, festivals, and fairy tales that reveal a graceful pattern, through music, art, and dance that open the heart to the beauty of creations, social interactions, and through the reverence that the teacher brings to the learning process itself.
Weekly Rhythm consists of the seasonal Crafts, Arts, Handwork, and Earth based activities. As well as, the snacks that we all help prepare and eat at Tea Time (or Snack Time) each day.
Monthly Rhythm celebrates the seasonal changes and festivals that are celebrated in each month. For example; birthdays are very special, Lantern Walk in November, Winter Spiral in December and so on.
