Cabin Fever Cures

January 19, 2015 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

The kids and I have been getting a bit of “Cabin Fever” with all this miserable weather we’ve had in Iowa.** Nature walks have become shorter and we miss the sunshine and greenery and we needed a change! Sofi came up with the perfect solution! She decided that now was the perfect time to study Botany […]

Why Waldorf-inspired Education Creates Great Scientists

October 25, 2013 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

One of the many reasons we decided to base Earthschooling on Waldorf-inspired principles was because of the strong science base Waldorf-inspired education provides. When I share this thought with parents and teachers the first questions they ask is (something like), “How can Waldorf-inspired education create great scientists? And what do you mean – strong science […]

Waldorf Teacher Training: Teaching History in the Early & Middle Grades

August 26, 2013 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Of course that sounds extreme, but I see many teachers/parents get very frustrated […]

Ancient Cultures & Roman History Lesson Block Tip

July 30, 2013 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Our children always seem to instruct as as much as we instruct them. This week Sofi said something that struck a chord with me. When we were doing our Ancient Egypt block she indicated that she wanted to make a family tree for the Ancient Egyptian gods we were studying. I had a family tree […]

Our New Favorite Art Supplies

October 18, 2010 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Sofi and I invested in some new colored pencils a couple weeks ago and decided to give pastel pencils a try. They took some time for Sofi to get used to, and the process is on-going but the results are amazingly satisfying. They are definitely worth the investment! I would recommend them for any child […]

Visit to a Hindu Temple in Iowa

October 11, 2010 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Sofi and I are studying the Fifth Grade Ancient Cultures block. In the first part of the block we talked about Ancient India. Since this block included information on Hinduism and Buddhism we decided to visit a temple last week. I was amazed that this even exists in Iowa and I never would have known […]
