Description

Feedback: We have been really loving the math story! My kiddo counts down until it is time to do our story each day. She wanted to actually buy items at the bazaar, so she gets a handful of jewels each day and she has to figure out what she can afford. Bravo to the creator of this math block. It is spectacular! – January Jordan

What are Living Lessons?

Living Lessons are not an online school. Our goal is and always has been to assist the parent/teacher in their own classroom. We also feel it is important that the parent/teacher remains involved in the lessons to stay true to the Waldorf methods. So Living Lessons are a classroom assistant for you and a way for you to become a better teacher by having another teacher lead, guide, and inspire you. Here are some ways in which you may use the Living Lessons:

1. You are homeschooling multiple ages and need a virtual teacher now and then so you can offer each of your students individual attention.

2. You are looking for a virtual classroom experience with a Waldorf teacher.

3. You need a break now and then from homeschooling full time.

4. You want to enhance your own skill set by watching other teachers present Waldorf lessons.

5. You want to join a community of other parents experiencing Living Lessons with opportunities for your kids to connect with other kids in the program.

6. You are running a business or working from home and need a virtual teacher to help you homeschool.

7. You recently moved or are experiencing health challenges that make it hard to homeschool full time.

8. You are new to homeschooling and need a boost of confidence to start off your year.

9. You are new to Waldorf education.

10. You feel overwhelmed with the prospect of homeschooling or you have been forced into homeschooling by the pandemic and are feeling lost.

Math Part Three: Math from the Planners with Teacher Janet

These lessons are optional as they will be covered by Mellie already in the second part of her first grade math block. The lessons below also match with the Earthschooling planners. However, they can also be used as stand-alone video lessons and math review. Students are encouraged to be exposed to the same concepts multiple times through the year and hearing the same concept from different teachers is very helpful in showing different points of view and styles that may connect with the student on different levels.

*Alternate Lesson = This lesson is not exactly like the lesson in the planner. Our intention is that you use the Living Lesson beforeyou use our lesson to inspire and guide you and lead you into our lesson. You will use the same techniques when teaching our lesson. However, you can also choose to skip the lesson in the planner and do this lesson instead.
