Fun With First Grade

-Waldorf Education builds intuitive understanding of topics through storytelling. The first graders are learning about math processes– addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division– through the imaginative tale of Mul de Plier and her friends Addy Plus, Minus Miner, and Prince Divider.

Adventures with Class 3/4
-Third and fourth graders are gearing up for their big farm trip in March and simultaneously expanding their understanding of grammar by reading Farmer Boy, a book about life on a farm in 1864. They’re so excited to see how farm life has– and hasn’t– changed since then!
-In handwork, Class 3/4 is building cross cultural connections and understandings. They’ve learned songs and stories highlighting the ways that various groups of people engage with the natural materials of our world.
