First Grade Waldorf Living Lessons (Main Lessons)
Living Lessons are video lessons where a teacher leads the class through the main lessons for this grade. You can use these lessons as examples to follow for your own teaching or can use them as supplements to your own teaching (we all need a break now and then. I would have loved to have these available on days I was ill or was taking care of my fussy baby).
Are you looking for a FULL Waldorf Curriculum with Eurythmy, Music, Handwork, and Extra Art?
