Our Homeschool Room. The blackboard is welcoming the start of a new year. The Moses basket sits quietly with warm, crocheted blankets awaiting Old Testament tales for my third grader.
“May my soul bloom in love for all existence.” - Rudolph Steiner
This year our homeschool is really hoppin'! With Ronan doing Kinder work as well as the addition of my younger brother, we now have a kinder, third and fifth in our home! My toes curl with anticipation! All boys adds the element of creating balance in our studies, our energy and our rhythm.
I'm am signing praise of thanks to my Heavenly Father and the firm foundation of the gospel I have to guide me on this journey! I'm also grateful for Rudolph Steiner, educator and inspiration-er to me and so many others who carry the torch for....
simplicity....
love.....
honor....
and
Christ....
in education through the Waldorf method.

In Kindergarten this year we will be focused on a consistent rhythm and joy in the home over household tasks. Not only is this important to our Kinder but it creates security for our older boys and our baby as well.
Ronan will actively engage in washing clothes on Monday, folding and ironing on Tuesday, market on Wednesday and so forth. Helping to wipe, sweep and to fold will engage his mind and train his eye on the side to side movements needed for reading later on.
He will experience a new awakening in of his own abilities to serve and to do. His role within the family will begin to emerge from that of small child underfoot to growing child and vital member.
Circle time with his brothers, mom, nana and uncle will set his mind on singing, guessing, and thinking - setting up a life long playful relationship with the learning process.
Ronan will learn to strike a match and light a candle. We will recite verses to strengthen his mind and his relationship with God. We will tell timeless stories and poems (such as Mothergoose) to keep his imagination strong and connect him with the changing seasons.
