Waldorf Blocks: First Grade Form Drawing
This block includes step-by-step instructions for teaching all the basic forms for first grade. It also includes the e-book “Waldorf Form Drawing Basics” and access to all the Main Lesson Book pages for first grade form drawing. This block is laid out in such a way that there is no teacher preparation for the lesson.
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).
This listing includes the following Living Lessons (you can also see more details by scrolling down to see each class)
