Melisa and Mr. Siepker discuss everything Grade 5 Waldorf Education 

Main Themes of Grade 5

Language Arts: Grammar, Composition, Dictionary use, Verse and Mythologies from Ancient Cultures

Mathematics: Freehand Geometry, Fractions, Standard Long Division, Decimal fractions, Metric System, Measurement, The Wonder of Number

Science: Botany, some Zoology

Social Studies: US Geography, Ancient History, Greek History, Map Making

Class Description

We are about to embark on adventures of a very bright year of growing more awake and feeling ready to “look out into the world” with increasing confidence and strengthening of capacities. The curriculum of this school year meets the children in these adventures and takes them into the mysteries of ancient civilizations and the magical realms of the world of trees and plants. While we look back through the lens of ancient civilizations and begin to contemplate the future, our center stays rooted in the present as we explore the realm of the plant kingdom, take further strides in mathematics, strengthen our writing skills, and create beauty every step of the way.

Children at this age find themselves at a point of dynamic balance between earlier years of their childhood and the near-future years of adolescence. They feel confident, graceful, and capable most of the time, and a sense of harmony with the world becomes a part of most experiences.

Explorations of the cultural beauty of several ancient civilizations (Persia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece) through stories, geography, art, and mythology will bring all to the early history and the many lessons Ancient Greece has given us. Language Arts curriculum will weave through all the blocks expanding children’s grammar, composition, and reading capacities. Natural Science elements of the curriculum will thread through the realm of trees and plants (Botany) as we further expand our relationship to the blessings of plant life and the many gifts that we can give and receive to and from our beautiful Earth. Math curriculum will be full of color as freehand geometry and illustrated word problems accompany our practice and expanding skills of working with large numbers and fractions; and introductions to decimals, the metric system of measurement, and the ancient ways of recording numbers and measuring spaces.

Join Melisa as she gets really honest about rhythm.

In this video, Melisa explains how rhythm is not simply something that exists outside of yourself but is an internal and integral part of you. 

She walks you through what your rhythm can look like and how it can affect your family's rhythm. 

Melisa further explains the importance of leading by example and harnessing your rhythm. She ends the video by reminding you to get the rest you need and own your rhythm so you can lead your family into their rhythm.

Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials receives the question often of:

"Do you make a main lesson book?"

"What does your main lesson book look like?"

She walks you through how she plans her main lesson book to how she puts in into action during the lesson. 

Sometimes a visual can be the key to changing our own main lesson book! Hope this helps.

We have packaged all the content you will need for Kindergarten One. This will take you on a beautiful journey through your first year of Kindergarten. We also included our Waldorf homeschool teacher training as well as support and mentoring.

This is an amazing resource! Here's what's included:

Original Stories! With a few exceptions, all the stories are originals, written by me for children.

First Year Kindergarten, age 5 

– During this year, we meet Super Sam through 52 weeks of stories, handwork for Mom, recipes, nature table ideas and festival celebrations. Super Sam is a huge star!  There are Facebook groups dedicated to making props for his stories.

Monthly Handwork for Families 

–  handwork videos &  handwork projects.

Circle Time Laid Out 

– We have a completely laid out circle for each month and a library of  audios for each song. It includes our ENTIRE Circle Time Creation course!

Recipes! 

- Recipes for each week, many can easily be adjusted to special dietary needs.

APP!  We have an app to make accessing our product quick and easy!

BONUS - Planning for Peace Early Childhood & Kindergarten edition.

This is accessible for the Southern Hemisphere! We have adjusted the story schedule just for our friends south of the Equator!  

"We only have to act in ways that are worthy of the child's gratitude and it will flow toward us, especially during the first period of life." ~ Rudolf Steiner, Gratitude, Love, and Duty

Original content.

Meet Super Sam.  He's a gnome that lives in the forest, helps his friends and loves his family.  We have two full years, 52 weeks each, of stories about Sam and his friends.  We occasionally tie in some other stories to share with your children.

Handwork.

Handwork is a hallmark of Waldorf and we start you out right with plenty of patterns AND instruction! Each month will bring a new (optional) project for families.  

Circle Time Creation.

Circle time creation can be stressful.  We take the stress out with our guidelines, song bank and all the tunes!

 Everything is better with friends.

Community is wonderful.  Community outside of Facebook is even better.  We've found that so many families are looking for an alternative to Facebook which we now offer.  Talk about handwork struggles, your 6 year change wins and get coaching help from our team!

Training & Mentoring

We found that families who have training in Waldorf foundations really excel in their homeschooling. We provide you with a full year access to our Thinking Feeling Willing program as well as access to weekly coaching calls with Melisa or one of our coaches.

Hard Copies of the Curriculum

Despite my best attempts at downsizing my collection, at the end of the day I am a book in hand kinda gal. We provide you with a hard copy of the curriculum as well as a Planning for Peace journal.

An App!

We want you to be able to get everything you need quickly! Our app will allow you to have it all at your fingertips. Our support groups are also easily accessed on the app.

Eurythmy Inspired Movement Teacher ~ Ms. Tiffany

Learn more about Eurythmy at Seasons of Seven here

https://www.seasonsofseven.com/23/24-enrichment

Hello and warm greetings from South Carolina in the Unites States! My name is Tiffany Conary. I am a Waldorf homeschooling mom of seven. Two of my children are grown and left the nest, four are currently being homeschooled, and one is preschool age, but keeping up with everything her brothers and sisters are doing! I am going to be the Movement Teacher this year for Seasons of Seven. I am very excited and so eager to get to know every one of my students and their families. For the past 4 years I have been doing eurythmy movement, with multiple ages and stages, in my homeschool co-op group. This is something I enjoy doing immensely! It is interesting to see what works and what doesn’t at each stage of life. I am currently working on a clear and understandable homeschool eurythmy curriculum since there is a great need for eurythmy in the home. Waldorf education is beautiful and wonderful but would not be complete without eurythmy. That is why I feel it is my call to bring eurythmy to as many homeschooling families as I possibly can.  Seasons of Seven is a lovely way to provide a Waldorf education to those wanting to stay at home. YOU too should have the opportunity to do the engaging art of eurythmy as well. I am so excited to work with the younger ones and get those little bodies moving in a way that will encourage their speech process, prepare them for reading and writing, and connect their physical and etheric bodies! I am equally excited to work with the older ones to help them feel comfortable in their bodies, express the feelings they cannot with words, and to bring them into the thinking stage of life. I look forward to this year and look forward to working with you!

Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials and Ms. Tiffany at Seasons of Seven discuss the many aspects of eurythmy.

- Can eurythmy be done at home?

- Do you have to be certified to implement eurythmy in your home and homeschooling?

Part two is over on our Patreon where Ms. Tiffany and I go deeper into:

- Mistakes Ms. Tiffany has navigated.

- The important of knowing your temperament and how that impacts eurythmy lessons.

- Can eurythmy be done outside?
