we woke to a world covered in snow again.
i had a cup of coffee at the local cafe while waiting to switch the clothes into the dryer.
nothing had been shoveled yet in the courtyard. i really don't mind all this snow . . though it is a problem when the car has to be dug out.
a new lesson block began at the waldorf coop: medieval biographies and drama.
they began by discussing king john, stephen langton (the archbishop of canterbury from 1207 - 1228) and the magna carta. in the afternoon my friend janet and i joined them for creative work: a sketch of stephen langton from a picture svetlana found online.
after sketching in pencil, we attempted to fill the portrait in with pastels.
playing cards all together after the class. the youngest two managed to talk the older ones into a game of blind man's buff before everyone had to leave (the oldest who would rather play cards are 14 and 15 and the youngest who prefer the movement game are 11 and 12).
Nice work! My German students are learning about Waldorf schools tomorrow. I have a very modern textbook and there is a whole chapter about them!! We have a co-op like this an hour away at home. But it is only for high school. I would not know what to do with the rest of the children. So I guess that is not for us.
ReplyDeleteI never did this with Morgana because we couldn't afford two . . but with just Chanda it feels more feasible. Plus, it's nice company for her now that M is traipsing about in another country.
DeleteThat's a very good textbook you have to include a whole chapter on Waldorf schools! What is the name of it again?
