First Grade Waldorf Earthschooling Core Curriculum

USD $95.00

This listing is for a single family purchase. If you are a co-op, teacher at a school, school, or charter school please see our co-op page HERE. For full curriculum packages that include all the teacher support videos for that grade (how to wet-on-wet watercolor, use block crayons, do needle-felting, etc.) for preschool through high school please see our curriculum package page here. The Core Bundles do not come with teacher support video, eurythmy, or Living Lessons.”

All children are carefully assessed as to whether they are ready to embark on this journey. Are they ready to learn to write and later read and do arithmetic without thwarting some other part of their development? Are the growth forces all still needed for growing and playing or are some growth forces freed so that they can be used for their next tasks? The children around about seven years should have the concentration to build their own vivid inner pictures when being told a story, and through such imagery will continue learning in the following years.

Description

Fairy tales are told by the teacher then retold and dramatized by members of the class. This cultivates the children’s imagination. Starting with simple artwork the children learn to draw forms, which lead to letters and numbers. The four basic mathematic processes are introducedaddition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Nature stories provide an imaginative introduction to the natural world. These stories provide the basis for drawing, writing and the beginnings of reading and science. Elementary German and Spanish are introduced through songs and games. Even simple numbers come to life by the way they are presented. A triangle has a neat quality of “threeness” that is qualitatively different from a square’s blocky “fourness.” Numbers become more than simply abstractions in sequence.

Note: First grade lesson plans are available as blocks and as monthly lesson plans. The monthly plans offer all of the following lesson blocks already planned out for you as a daily schedule. The “daily planner” option is included for free when you purchase the first grade curriculum.

All of your curriculum materials including mp3s are available through a teacher portal immediately after you make your purchase. These lessons are all open-and-go, making your teaching experience smoother and easier.
