Waldorf Essentials Class/Grade 4
The fourth grader is in a much different place than he was just last year. He is feeling more comfortable now that he's on this side of the transformation, but now what should he do with new knowledge? How should he act? He's too old for those stories he once adored.
“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.” — Rudolf Steiner

Community is wonderful. Community outside of Facebook is even better. We've found that so many families are looking for an alternative to Facebook which we now offer. Talk about handwork struggles, your wins and get coaching help from our team!

Common questions answered :)
Q. Does this include all the curriculum I will need to teach class four at home?
A. We include the main lesson content with ample direction on local history and mapping including researching Indigenous people of our area. Norse mythology and mathematics as well as handwork, some music instruction, painting, drawing and more. You will need to choose a text for Norse stories and we recommend some, including some that are free.
Q. Does this include supplies?
A. This program does NOT include supplies such as crayons, beeswax, etc. We have a favorite supplier, you can find her HERE. There is a recommended supply list in the curriculum.
Q. Is coaching included?
A. Yes! You are invited to coaching calls four times a month.
Q. Is this curriculum secular?
A. That is a tricky question! We encourage inner work for parents. That is spiritual but NOT religious in content. In this curriculum, like all true Waldorf curriculum, you will encounter spiritual content in the festivals and cultural content in the lessons. If you have concerns about religion, please see the article we wrote HERE.
Q. Is this digital or hard copy?
A. We offer both. You can choose digital only access or to have hard copies sent to you.
Q. This looks pretty Mom centered, are you sensitive to non-traditional families?
A. YES! In our home, both my husband, Erik and I do the teaching AND the working. We work with moms, dads, grandparents, foster/adoptive parents and more. We are here to help you be present and connected with your CHILD, that is our focus.
Q. I still have questions, how can I answer them?
A. Send us an email we are happy to help.
