A note about Waldorf guilt and the Waldorf police and a satisfying realization:  http://www.chocoeyes.blogspot.com/2012/02/mama-guilt-waldorf-police.html

 

A wonderful posts with a form for observation and assessment of the Waldorf student:  http://sweetpeasnursery.blogspot.com/2012/02/observation-of-children.html

 

I am thinking about fifth grade and gathering resources; I have most of our botany for the year planned out but here is a lovely link regarding Ancient India:  http://heirloomseasons.blogspot.com/2012/02/waldorf-fifth-grade-ancient-india.html  and some more Ancient Civilizations from a different blog:  http://homeschoolingwaldorf.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/more-ancient-civilizations/

A Mother’s Checklist For A Day Of Homeschooling

Posted on by

Did I  get up `early enough to feel steady, calm and unhurried?

 

Did I put on my apron or other attire to not only protect my own vital life forces whilst I am teaching, but also to set the stage that now we are in school?

 

Did I set the space of my work area where I will be with the children?

 

Did I center myself with a verse, a prayer, lighting a candle?

 

Did I cheerfully and lovingly greet the children for school?

 

Did we clean up at the end of school what could be cleaned up and close with a verse?

 

At the end of the day, did I review the day and meet my child again in prayer as to what that child needs from me in their  schooling, in their character development, in their life?  Was I prepared, and what could I do differently to be even more prepared?

 

Am I going to bed early enough to get up and do this again tomorrow?

 

Many blessings and much love,

Carrie
