Waldorf Essentials Class/Grade 4
The fourth grader is in a much different place than they were just last year. They are feeling more comfortable now on this side of the nine year transformation, but now what should they do with their new knowledge? How should they act? They are getting too old for those stories once adored. What new adventures await them and how can we be ready to meet them?
The Class Four content matches the child perfectly. These children are beginning to understand their place in the world by learning more about their world through local geography and history, they learn about animals and their characteristics as well as stories from Norse mythology.
“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.” — Rudolf Steiner
