Diversifying Our Curriculum

Rudolf Steiner used an archetypal picture of the developing human being to form the guiding principles of his pedagogical approach. These timeless principles provide a solid foundation for re-envisioning the content of our lessons. Our goal is to include more diverse representation in support of racial justice while enhancing the unique essence that makes Waldorf education so powerful.

Eurythmy at Meadowbrook Waldorf School

Eurythmy is a movement art that can be accompanied by music and speech, and it seeks to make speech and tone, typically sensed by the ear, visible to the eye. We have all had the experience of being emotionally moved by a piece of music or stirring speech. In a similar way, eurythmy also seeks to connect both the performer and observer in a way that is deeper than simply sight and sound.

Michaelmas: Contemplating Dragons

,

In Waldorf Education, we believe strongly in working with the influences of the natural world, noticing and celebrating the changes in the seasons. Now that fall is upon us, teachers and students are preparing for the festival of Michaelmas, which recognizes the figure of St. Michael. Little noted in modern times, Michael was a powerful figure in days of yore. Better known to us today is Michael's association with St. George, the patron saint of England, as he fights the dragon.

Third Grade Farm Trip

The farm trip meets the developing nine-year old in many important ways. For most of my students, this was their first extended time away from their family. The nine-year old is developing an individual interior world; for the first time they realize that they can have thoughts and experiences that are theirs alone.

Meadowbrook May Faire!

,

Traditionally, May Faire heralds lengthening days, fertile soil, and the promise of abundance. It also reminds us that we have persevered through the challenging, contemplative season of winter and moved into the exuberant spring. This exuberance is reflected at the Faire with joyous and colorful May pole dancing, flower garlands, music, games, and food.
