"Ci sono soltanto tre modi efficaci per educare: con la paura, con l’ambizione, con l’amore. Noi rinunciamo ai primi due". (Rudolf Steiner). La Pedagogia Steineriana si fonda sullo sviluppo della creatività del bambino, considerando tutte le dimensioni che porta con sé, cioè quella fisica, psichica e spirituale. L’anima incarnata utilizza, oltre a quello fisico, i corpi sottili, così denominati dall’Antroposofia: – corpo eterico o vitale (è quello che ci fa percepire il dolore, il piacere, il

Our first week of first grade with Elsa went very well. We are using the first grade curriculum from A Little Garden Flower and supplementing it with some activities and stories from Oak Meadow kindergarten and some of our own story books. We are following a traditional Waldorf format - doing blocks of lessons, introducing the letters using stories and many hands-on crafts and movement activities. Elsa has already begun to read, and we are very gently supporting her without rushing her out of this sweet time of magic and imagination. For each letter, we tell a story that has an important element which starts with that letter ("mountain" for "M", etc...)We color a picture where we try to find the form of the letter in the picture. We practice writing upper and lower case. We write the word for that letter from the story. We also do silly sentences, like "Misty mountains marching merrily". We bake bread in fun shapes, or play with playdough, or use yarn and make the letters. We color them on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. We look for them all around us. First week lesson plans: Begin container story from "A Journey Through Waldorf Homeschooling: Grade One" Introduce the letter "M" - tell Grimm's "Mt. Simli" Introduce the letter "V" - tell Grimm's "The Vagabonds"

We start our first language arts block on Monday, so this weekend I took some time to really solidify what we’re going to do during each of our language arts blocks and I’m feeling really good about the plan. By the way, if you’re looking at teaching 1st grade language arts anytime soon, you might […]

Mr 7's February calendar February was a fabulous month transitioning back into our 'school' rhythm. Mr 7 was very ready to get back into a more regular routine after the long unstructured days of summer, and Mr 5 was super excited to begin his first year of "school". During Circle Time we have been enjoying some of Summer verses and finger plays. Week 1 Snippets from our week... We started off this new year of learning with a little review of our Container Story journey from last year, and picked the story back up as Mike and Bill finally reached the very top of the mountain and discovered the magic cave where they would be given the Keys of Knowledge. Letter A The first key opened the door to discover the Letter A. We explored the long and short sounds of the Letter A and were given the story of 'The Magic Pear Tree', a version of which can be found (though I changed the 'pear' to an 'apple' to suit our letter :) Story: ‘The Magic Apple (Pear) Tree' TL: Backboard drawing TC: MLB Picture Alphabet (A is for Apple Tree) TR: Wax-resist Letter A ML: Walking the Letter A MC: Modelling the Letter A MR: Needle-felting the Letter A BL: Letter practise BC: A in nature BR: A tastes like... Apple sauce pikelets! Word Families The House of AD Having fun with word families. Form Drawing We have added a weekly Form Drawing story into our rhythm as a way to start off our formal work week each Monday morning after Circle Time. I found a wonderfully sweet (and free!) online Form Drawing story which introduces a new form with each story. In their MLBs the boys practise the forms on the LHS, and do a free drawing from the story on the RHS. In Chapter 1, Straight and Curved Line forms are introduced. LHS: Mr 5's Straight & Curved Lines RHS: Free drawing from the story LHS: Mr 7's Straight & Curved Lines RHS: Free drawing from the story Artwork & Handwork Wet-on-wet watercolour painting TL & TR: Mr 5 making paper BL & BR: Mr 7 working with ceramic building blocks Week 2 Snippets from our week...

LHS: Mr 5's Zig-Zag Forms RHS: Free drawing from the story LHS: Mr 7's Zig-Zag Forms RHS: Free drawing from the story Letter E This week's golden Key of Knowledge was the Letter E. We explored the letter in the usual ways, discovering both the long and short sounds, and used the very short Grimm's story 'The Golden Key' which can be found . I must admit I found the ending somewhat annoying but the boys both loved it and really enjoyed discussing what the boy might have found in the chest.

Creative Writing This week we put aside time to write regularly in our creative writing journals. The boys dictate the stories to me, and then illustrate them. We do a little in our books every few days. I think this is a wonderful way for the boys to easily get their own ideas and creative thought process on paper while they are learning to read and write, without the added challenge of trying to write the words themselves. Creative writing is one of their favourite activities. TL & TR: Mr 5's Creative Writing BL & BR: Mr 7's Creative Writing Artwork & Handwork This week Mr 7 finally began to learn to knit using knitting needles! We have been finger knitting and lucent fork knitting over the last couple of years and it's only been just recently that I've felt Mr 7 is gaining the dexterity required to knit with needles. Mr 7 begins knitting! During quiet time, we listened to the sweet 3 part Martin & Sylvia audio book 'Knitting From The Beginning' which can found . I also told the story of 'Jeremy & The Magic Sticks' which is found on p.162 of Susan Perrow's book 'Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour', which is a book I'd highly recommend. During our afternoon handwork session, I told a version of the story 'The Harvest Mouse' which can be found on p.25 in the lovely book 'Tell Me A Story'. I altered the story a little to suit our purpose and added a little knitting rhyme for us to use as we knit: Little Mouse pops out, Wraps his tail around a reed. Climbs in through the window and off jumps he! Our first few attempts at knitting were a little frustrating, but with patience, practise and 3 or 4 stitches here and there, he is finally getting the hang of where hands, fingers, yarn and needles go! It really helped to have me stand behind him and gently guide his hands through the movements initially. Other Happenings... During this week we discovered a sleepy little (nocturnal) Tasmanian Pygmy Possum fast asleep in the bookcase! We popped him outside in a dark hollow log, and as soon as he was back in the dim light he scurried away happily! On the weekend, we went camping down at Finns Beach with another homeschooling family and the next morning joined the Huon Valley Landcare Roamers on a wonderful day on the Ida Bay Railway to learn about the native and endangered flora and fauna in the area. It was a great day in spite of the typically Tasmanian weather! Mr 5 chose to write about the adventure on the Ida BayRailway Week 3 Snippets from our week... Form Drawing The story from this week's form, the spiral, can be found . LHS: Mr 5's Spiral forms RHS: Free drawing from the story LHS: Mr 7's Spiral forms RHS: Free drawing from the story Letter I This week's golden Key of Knowledge was the Letter I. We explored the letter in the usual ways, learning both the long and short sounds for I, and used the Ukrainian folktale 'The Mitten', a version of which can be found . Both boys loved this story. Story: ‘The Mitten' TL: Story Puppetry TC: MLB Picture Alphabet TR: Letter Practise ML: Wax-resist watercolour MC: Modelling the Letter I MR: Waking the Letter I BL: Needle-felting the Letter I BC: I is for Insect BR: AUSLAN Letter I Other Happenings... Earlier this week we attended our first Children of the Valley homeschool meet, which was held at a private house while the cottage was still unavailable. It was a lovely day of meeting and getting to know other Steiner inspired homeschoolers in our area, and discussion the finer details of how the homeschool group would run. The children enjoyed the day immensely and it was finished off with a magical story told by one of the very clever mamas in the group. We all are eagerly looking forward to the first 'official' meet in a few weeks time. Toward the end of this week, we all came down with the first cold and cough of the season, the first since Spring! We spent a few quiet days at home resting and recovering. The boys both spent a lot of time drawing in their free drawing books. TL & TR: Mr 7's drawings of himself and his family BL: Mr 7's plans for our farm and orchard BR: Mr 5's plans for our farm and orchard Week 4 This year we have planned for a new monthly rhythm of 3 weeks homeschool and 1 week rest. We heard about this idea from another family who have been homeschooling for many years and have found this rhythm works best for their 4 children. It is set aside as a week of rest, catch up on anything missed or haven't finished, and a time for self-directed projects. It's also an opportunity for me to look ahead to the coming month and plan some of what we will cover. This month's week off just happened to fall perfectly during our week of illness and recovery. It was so nice to have that extra 'space' planned in the month. So this week's self directed activities mostly consisted of lots of drawing, painting, and writing in their Creative Writing Journals. As we began to feel better, we pottered around in the late-Summer garden, harvesting lots of tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, potatoes, and the first of the corn! They also worked on some sweet little handwork projects. Both boys are still fascinated by the restored 'working' waterwheel powered mining rock-crusher we saw at the Beaconsfield Mine Museum last year, and decided they wanted to learn more about how waterwheels work, so we found some books and videos on the topic. And, of course, there was more time spent on electronics and on Mr 7's fabulous little circuit board kit he received for Christmas.

A summary of our month of learning… Week 1 “School” Holidays & Easter We finished off the last week of March and the last week of Term 1 with some handwork. We visited our friends' farm to watch the sheep being shorn in late summer, and they were kind enough to give us a fleece for our handwork. We collected the dirty fleece and spent a few days washing, cleaning, drying and combing the wool. We then attempted to restore the old family spinning wheel and had a bit of fun working out how to use it. We then moved on to Mr 4 learning how to lucet fork knit, and Mr 6 continuing with his lucet knitting project - making a skipping rope. Preparing the fleece & Lucet knitting with yarn Easter fell on the first weekend of April, so the rest of this week was spent in preparation for the Easter festival. We harvested various vegetables and fruit from the garden, and also used gumleaves to naturally dye blown eggs. Once dry, the result wasn’t as bright as we’d hoped, so the boys added some watercolour paints to brighten our Easter Tree. Easter Activities... TL: Making natural dyes from the garden TR: Dyeing blown eggs BL: Watercolour painting eggs BR: Our Easter Tree We met with our little homeschooling group during Easter week to bake hot cross buns and wet felt eggs, and to play of course. The rest of the Easter break we enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and spending special time as a family celebrating the Easter festival in our own way. Easter Activities... TL: Baking HotCross Buns TR: Wet felting Easter eggs BL: Felt bunnies made for Easter BR: Egg hunt! We listened to Martin & Sylvia’s new SparkleStories audiobook series ‘Whole World Easter’, which gave perspectives on the experience of Easter in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, and explained in an age-appropriate way the Christian Easter story. The night before Easter, I told a version of the sweet little Australian-flavoured story ’The Real Story of the Easter Bunny’ by Reg Downs, having stitched a little felt fox and little felt kangaroo with pouch to help tell the story, but the highlight of course, was the Easter morning egg hunt in the Autumn fruit and vegetable garden! :) Easter egg hunt in the Autumn garden! Week 2 “School” Holidays This week we continued to enjoy lots of time with Daddy who had taken an extra week after the Easter holidays to build Stage 2 of the house. The week was spent working together on the house, doing little wood working projects, extending the tree house cubby, playing with friends, and having 2 families stay over with us. On Friday, we attended the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra ‘Mini-Maestro’ performance which was one of the highlights of the week! They were particularly enamoured with the double bass. On Sunday, the final day of Daddy’s leave, we took a family trip down south to Lune River to go gemstone hunting. We dropped in to Lunaris, the gemstone fossicking shop and information centre, and found them to be very friendly and helpful. Armed with map (found for all of those who have asked for more information), a good idea of where and what to look for and buckets of enthusiasm, we headed off into the Coal Hill Fossicking Area. We spent a fabulous day walking around and digging up gemstones, and got quite a haul! Some really beautiful pieces of Lune River agate, fossilised wood, quartz crystals and some lovely little quartz geodes. Mr 6 was in his element! Gemstone fossicking trip... TL: Learning about agates at Lunaris TR: Studying Autumn fungi BL: Finding gemstones BR: The collection! Beginning the Grade One Language Block We will be working to a 2-3 day language block rhythm, using the other days of the week to explore natural sciences and maths, visit the library, go to gymnastics and yoga club, and join our friends for a homeschool co-op day. We will continue to use our Container Story from last month’s Form Drawing Block, to bring continuity to our letter learning phonics and writing journey. To accompany the Container Story, I hand stitched a little pouch for Mr 6 to collect “magic story tokens” in. The magic tokens are simple wooden letter discs which are given to him each week by the character who tells the weekly Main Lesson story. This has been a fabulous idea and worked really well. It is a lovely way of bring the letter to the story, to the blackboard drawing, and to the week’s learning. L: Mr 6’s little pouch R: The “magic story tokens" Introducing the Alphabet Both boys know the ‘alphabet song’ so I feel that introducing the letters in alphabetical order isn’t as important, and after much thought, reading, and questioning, I settled on introducing the alphabet using a combination of form and phonics. I found Barbara Dewey’s little booklet ‘Waldorf Reading for Homeschoolers’ a really useful resource for ideas on how to introduce letters by sound, develop our own picture alphabet, and for stories and tongue twisters for each letter. I also drew inspiration from a number of Waldorf blogs, Pinterest and the Earthschooling Grade One curriculum. The order we will introduce the alphabet is as follows: B, D, P, R (Straight + curved forms; Consonants with 1 sound) L, F, T, J (Straight forms; Consonants with 1 sound) M, N, V, W (Running forms; Consonants with 1 sound) H, Z, K, X (Crossed forms; Consonants with 1-2 sounds) Q, C, S, G (Curved forms; Consonants with 2-3 sounds) Y (Vowel-like consonant with 3 sounds) Vowels I debated whether or not to introduce lowercase letters alongside the uppercase letters, but a bit of reading and research helped me decide to just introduce uppercase during this first language block. It is easier to master the writing and we are able to focus more on the sound qualities of each letter. Once Mr 6 has mastered the uppercase letters, we will move on to the lowercase which I imagine by then, will be able to be covered in quite a short time. Handwriting Without Tears also recommends introducing letters this way, although they introduce the alphabet letters in a different order. Having said all of that, the “magic tokens” Mr 6 receives each week have the uppercase letter on one side and the lowercase letter on the reverse side, so he is exposed to both regularly. However, as he begins to write, we will just focus on perfecting the uppercase alphabet first before moving on to the lowercase, then to the cursive alphabet next year. Learning to write in uppercase letters Language Block Rhythm I like the Waldorf idea of immersion in a focussed block of learning, and whilst we are going to use this as our main focus of the week, I am also going to try to bring in other areas and disciplines of learning within a theme for the week. The theme will revolve around the letter of the week, as well as elements drawn from the main lesson story. I feel this way our learning will cover broad areas and have a solid overarching theme and an interconnectedness. Language Block: Day One On the first day, I draw a blackboard scene or character from our weekly language block story. I have chosen to do this in the morning while they are present, as I think it is helpful to have them see the drawing techniques employed and the development of the image. At this stage they do not know which letter we will focus on this week. We start our morning lesson with story time on the first day. I have the boys sit around the story scene I have set up, and begin with a continuation of the Container Story. This leads into the Main Lesson Language Block story. At the conclusion of the Main Lesson story, Mr 6 finds or is given the “magic token”, and both boys eagerly rush over to the blackboard to try to discover the hidden letter in the week’s picture. It’s really quite fun to see how excited they are! :) I love Waldorf education’s multi-sensory approach to learning, and the language block is no different. We spend some time exploring the sound of the letter, and bring in some multi-sensory learning techniques, or sixth-sense language as it is described in the Earthschooling curriculum. We move, touch, feel, and manipulate objects as we learn our letters. We might do some gardening with the letter of the week, or some baking which is a lovely way to “smell” and “taste” the letter. We find the letter in our nature walk, or see how many words we can think of that begin with the letter. We also make up silly songs and tongue twisters beginning with letter of the week. In the afternoon, we will usually do some handwork, painting, free-drawing or modelling based on elements of the story. At bedtime, we use our 'ABC of Yoga for Kids’ cards to practise the letter of the week poses. ABC of Yoga for Kids cards Language Block: Day Two to Three The following day/s, we continue with multi-sensory learning and start our morning lesson with an active circle time. We use a few verses and songs from our lovely seasonal Autumn Circle Time collection, and then move on to tongue twisters, letter rhymes and ABC Yoga letter poses. We have been pracising skipping each morning, jumping along in time to our letter rhymes and making up ball rolling/catching and bean bag games to accompany them. I’ve found the boys really respond well to learning with movement, plus it’s fun! After Morning Circle, we: ~ Recall and retell the story (perhaps using drama or puppetry) ~ Imagine the letter with our eyes closed ~ Walk the letter with ropes laid out on the form ~ Use our bodies to create the letter ~ Draw the letter in the air, using both hands separately ~ Draw the letter on each other’s backs, using both hands ~ Practise the letter in a sandbox, then on a chalkboard At this point, we bring the lesson drawing to the left-hand page of our Main Lesson Books. With a combination of block and stick crayons, I draw the picture-alphabet character from the story alongside the boys, so they can see the techniques I am using to draw and blending the colours while they draw a similar image. This is really fun and often leads to interesting discussions on art techniques. Finally on the right-hand page, we bring the letter itself to paper. We use a large triangular pencil for this as Mr 6’s pencil grip is good and being left-handed, using pencils means he doesn’t smudge his writing. We have a separate Main Lesson Book for letter practise, which Mr 6 often brings out just for fun. The rest of the week is spent finishing off the Language Block activities, and then moving into some natural science learning. I’ve tried to tie this in with our story theme or our letter to add some cohesiveness to our week. We also use the rest of the week to socialise, attend homeschool groups, visit the library, go on excursions, and go to yoga club or gymnastics. Week 3 Letter B This week our Language Block adventure began and our little Container Story family continued on their way through the forest meeting a 'beautiful butterfly balancing on a bud'. This magical butterfly told the children the story of ‘Thumbelina and The Butterfly’, and introduced the letter of the week, the Letter B which we found in the butterfly’s wings. Story: ‘Thumbelina' TL: Blackboard Drawing - B is for Butterfly TC: Telling the story using props TR: Finding the Letter B in the chalkboard drawing ML: Wet-on-wet painting Centre: Picture alphabet ‘B for Butterfly' MR: Walking out the Letter B BL: Baking butter biscuits with the Letter B BC: Modelling the Letter B BR: Needle-felting the Letter B on the alphabet bunting Interestingly enough, Mr 6 told me that after first hearing the story during the day, he thinks about the letter that night in bed and then comes up with his own drawing for that letter, which he plans to draw on his small chalkboard each week. I thought this was quite fascinating, and certainly plays into Waldorf education’s idea of allowing a child to 'sleep into’ new material, a concept which was confirmed in 2013 neuroscience study on how children’s brains transform subconsciously learned material into active knowledge during sleep. So I shall include Mr 6’s own letter drawing each week for as long as he continues to do it :) B is for Beaver Gardening with B Another multi-sensory learning project we will do each week is to garden with the Letter of the Week in mind. We are avid followers of Permaculture, having set up a number of systems over the years. I love that the boys are curious about the garden and love to help with planting, harvesting and are full of ideas on how to implement Permaculture principles. I am really excited about bringing a strong Permaculture influence to our homeschooling learning. So this week, here are some of the things we planted with the Letter B... Gardening with B… TR: Brocoli & Brassicas BL: Baby Broad Beans BR: Bulbs for Spring Science We finished off the week with the Huon Valley Roamer’s Landcare Bat Night.

We spent a lovely day celebrating his birthday together and he had wonderful party on the weekend celebrating with his dearest friends. Special memories <3 “When I have said my evening prayer, And my clothes are folded on my chair, And mother switches off the light, I'll still be four years old tonight. But from the very break of day, Before the children rise and play, Before the darkness turns to gold, Tomorrow, I'll be five years old. Five kisses when I wake! Five candles on my cake!

A mumma cake decorating win! :D Week 5 Letter P This week I adapted a story from Susan Perrow’s wonderful book ‘Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour’. We used the story on p. 249 ‘Baby Bear Koala’ a therapeutic story for separation anxiety. I changed the baby koala to a baby possum, called Blossom Possum. Both boys just loved the story!

Recently I ordered Sieglinde de Francesca's Coloring with Block Crayons DVD set . I really had no idea how to work with our bloc...
Er zijn overal wel verhalen over koningen te vinden. Hier volg een verhaal uit de bundel van Hermien Ijzerman. De beelden die door haar gebruikt worden zijn de K (koning) en de J (jachthoorn). De jachthoorn van Koning Karel Grote drukte heerste in de binnenplaats van Koning Karel ’s hof. De heraut blies op zijn hoorn en dat was de teken dat het jacht begon. De kleurige ruiterstoet reed over de ophaalbrug. De blaffende honden sprongen vooruit. Voorop reed Koning Karel. Dan volgden de valkeniers met de valken op hun hand. Daarna de ridders met pijl en boog. De zon schitterde op de glinsterende helmen en lansen, terwijl de pluimen en vanen in de wind wapperden. Snuivend liep het paard van de koning achter de honden aan, tussen de bosjes en dichte struiken door. Ineens klonk er een donderende slag. Het paard schrok op en steigerde. Verschrikt keek de koning nar de lucht. Die zag er nu donker en dreigend uit. Het weer is veranderd. Er komt onweer! Wij zullen een schuilplaats moeten vinden. De koning was een beetje afgedwaald van zijn onderdanen. Hij vond een veilige plek onder een overhangende krans. Ineens hoorde hij van achter de rotsen vreemde muziek. Het was niet mooi maar erg wild. De koning werd nieuwsgierig en klopte tegen de rots met zijn zwaard. Ineens schoof de rots weg. Koning Karel kon zijn ogen en oren niet geloven. Hij stond nu in een grot en overal dansten en krijsten lelijke trollen en venijnige elven! Zij greep de koning en wilde hem op het vuur braden – “dat wordt een lekker hapje!” riepen zij uit. Maar de koning smeekte hen om zijn leven te sparen. Kijk, ik heb een prachtige jachthoorn met edelstenen versierd en een gouden mondstuk! Jullie mogen het hebben. Het kan eten op de tafel toveren. Maar dan moeten jullie eerst wachten tot ik weg ben. Wanneer jullie er op blazen voor ik weg ben, komen er wolven en beren om jullie te verscheuren! Dat leek de trollen en elven wel een fijn idee, en zij lieten de koning vrij. Zo snel als de wind sprong hij op zijn paard en reed terug naar waar hij dacht zijn onderdanen te vinden. Ineens hoorde hij een jachthoorn in de verte. De koning ging op het geluid af. Maar hij kwam alleen een oude kluizenaar tegen. Ik ben mijn jachthoorn kwijt, zei de koning tegen de oude man. Zo kan ik mijn makkers niet terug vinden. Hij vertelde aan de oude wijze man wat hem overkwam. Ik heb wel een jachthoorn voor u. Hij is nog veel kostbaarder dan die van u. De oude man gaf aan de koning een oude, lelijk jachthoorn. Het had geeneens enig versiering. U spot met mij! Riep de koning boos uit. Maar het is wel een kostbaar hoorn, zei de oude man. Blaas er eens op. De koning blies op de hoorn, maar er kwam alleen een akelig krasse toon uit. De koning begreep er niets van. Dat was niet de hoorn dat hij hoorde! Maar de oude man nam de hoorn vast en blies er op. De mooiste, zuiverste, prachtige tonen kwamen er uit! Neem deze jachthoorn mee, Koning Karel. Hij kan alleen zuivere muziek maken wanneer iemand met een zuiver, goed hart er op speelt. Leer hoe om zuiver klanken voort te brengen. Dat kan als jij jou hart ook zuiver maakt. Probeer om een wijze mens te worden. En de koning nam de jachthoorn mee. Iedere dag speelde hij er op. Eerst klonken er alleen lelijke valse tonen wanneer de koning speelde. Maar de koning werd ook steeds wijzer en hij kreeg een goed hart. Dat kwam omdat hij zo hard probeerde om mooi muziek voort te brengen op zijn jachthoorn. En het lukte hem uiteindelijk! K De koning met zijn gouden kroon komt kijken.
