Class experience
US Grade Preschool - 1
In this weekly Waldorf-Inspired class, we will read a different classic fairytale recommended by various Waldorf resources.

I have always loved classic fairytales. So much so, that in middle school, I was made fun of for carrying around "The Complete Collection of Grimm Fairytales" in hardback. I may not have been cool, but I was smart! I have read every classic fairytale I can find including the complete collections by Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault. I am also a trained actor and performer. I have told expressive and memorable stories to thousands of children over the year, both onstage and in a classic circle time manner. Storytelling is in my soul! I am an experienced teacher with 5 and 1/2 years of teaching experience both online and in person. I have taught English online for the past two and a half years. I often taught specialty storytime classes where I would tell the child a classic fairytale and we would discuss it and the child would learn to retell that story. I am new to Waldorf but I am also a life-long learner who is eager to learn. I am currently studying the Waldorf teaching method by reading books, articles, and blogs. I am currently reading "Fairy Tales: In the Light of Spiritual Investigation" by Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the Waldorf education. I am also on the lookout for more hidden fairytales that expand beyond the European and American viewpoints.
