Here is a sample of some Earthschooling activities I scheduled over the year based on seasonal, holiday, and other themes. Earthschooling includes holiday and seasonal themes, but is not dependent on them and covers many other themes each month as well. This makes Earthschooling suitable for parents and teachers around the world. The themes for the rest of the year are available to all Earthschooling members.

About the Author
The Spiritual Syllabus Series, written by Alan Whitehead, a Rudolf Steiner teacher, is by far the most comprehensive catalog of the Rudolf Steiner Education program ever published. There are approximately 43 teaching units detailed each year, each usually taught in the 3-week ‘block’ system (as opposed to ‘period’ teaching), totaling from 23 to 30 hours. For instance, the Class 3 & 4 Language book below, Logios – Spirit of the Word, the chapter titled ‘The 12 Points of Punctuation” refers to a whole 30-hour unit, as does every other of the 12 or so annotations.
