The natural world is a beautiful thing! In this once-a-week Waldorf-inspired nature club class we will cultivate and nurture a love and excitement for some of the wonderful things we find in Mother Nature. BRIEF OVERVIEW Each class will focus on a different theme. We will have lots of fun exploring each theme through the following activities: 1. Welcome, lighting of candle and verse 2. "Did you know..." introduction of the theme and some interesting and exciting facts 3. What, Where, How questions: stimulating curiosity, analytical skills, and independent thinking through a question-and-answer approach. 4. Storytelling and songs 5. Drawing a picture for the theme 6. Sharing of drawing 7. Goodbyes At the beginning of each week, your child will be sent a beautiful nature activity journal PDF made by us! The way this class is formatted means they do not build on each other and no prior knowledge from previous weeks is required. Learners may join at any time.
