Morning Verse for Lower Grades

What's Taught?
The Waldorf School Curriculum - Grade 4 by Eugene Schwartz

I highly recommend reading The Chisel-Tooth Tribe by Wilfrid Swancourt Bronson as an accompaniment to the Zoology MLB.

Share your ideas!

Community Bulletin Board is a unique feature at Waldorf Curriculum where people can make notes about things they would like to remember for the future. If you like the idea of never losing your teaching ideas again, submit them to the website and we'll keep track of them for you! (I can't even count the number of teaching notebooks and small pieces of paper I have lost -- the site is much more manageable). Simply join our Group; if you're already a Waldorf Curriculum member, contact me to submit your ideas.
