Out of the Classroom

October 1, 2014 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

I love Earthschooling because we spend so much time out of the “traditional classroom”. I adore books and have shelves filled with them. However, what always amazes me is how easily and effortlessly we learn outside of the traditional “textbook and classroom” methods. Today was a perfect example of getting outdoors for education and combining […]

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

It always seems like there is a lot to cover with history and there is. If you covered everything in history from every period you would have to read every newspaper and book from every country for every year you are studying. 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 […]

Mineralogy Block

October 5, 2010 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Today we started our mineralogy block. We didn’t plan it that way but sometimes life brings opportunities you don’t want to miss out on! My dad called to say that he would be in town doing a rock show (he exhibits and sells minerals and gems around the country as his retirement job – he […]
