Welcome Ms. Jodi's classroom! In this Waldorf-inspired book study class, we will delve into this amazing story about Tal and his marvelous adventures with Noom-Zor-Noom! In each class, we will light a candle and read the story together (teacher reading) and then create drawings based on the part of the story we read. Students are welcome to have a comfortable place to listen to the story and then a space to sit and draw for the second part of the lesson. As the rest time teacher for the first grade in a Waldorf school, this book was always the class favorite! I was also the school teaching librarian for six years at a Waldorf school and led many book discussions and Reading Olympics teams. My teaching style is one of inviting students to love the books that they are reading and to truly immerse themselves in the characters and story. I allow processing time through drawing and simple questions that ask readers to go a bit deeper.

Vimala Cursive Course and Coaching Completion
I am a Waldorf educator having worked as a school librarian and library/research subject teacher for 6 years with grades K-12 as faculty at a Waldorf school in rural Pennsylvania. I also worked as the first grade rest time teacher bringing calm and beautiful stories to this grade every day for many years. I have trained, been mentored by, and served along with some of the most experienced and dedicated Waldorf class and subject teachers in the world, some of whom have passed on and given me the greatest gift possible...to see their joy in teaching young souls. I also served as the reading coach for our school Reading Olympics team with over 40 students per year voluntarily coming to my library for an extracurricular where students were excited to read over 45 books a school year!
I have been offering comprehensive and affordable private lessons for Waldorf and other students around the world for several years. I also offer special Waldorf grades classes where students can connect with other students around the world. Our comfort with zoom now allows me to come to you no matter where in the world you may be! From day one, my students notice the improvement in their abilities and overall comprehension but parents especially note the change in their confidence. I get letters every day from parents telling me how much they see the confidence in their student improving after working with me. Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to find out how I can help you achieve your academic goals. As both a Waldorf former homeschooling mom and a teacher at a Waldorf school, I offer a unique experience to wherever your student may be-at home or at school-while needing extra lessons.
I have also taken private courses in archetypes for several years and studied the work of Carl Jung as a B.S. Psychology student. I am also a published writer in the Waldorf publication LILIPOH magazine. I lived on a Navajo reservation for several summers. I also have Masters classes in Library Science, Human Services, as well as diversity training. I ran a middle and high school library at the Waldorf school where I taught creative writing, library, and research classes for six years. I also worked in the Waldorf kindergarten and grades as an aftercare teacher.
I ran a high school library and worked extensively with students on research, book study, and analysis. I have also taught and tutored middle and high school advanced and gifted students on Outschool and other online platforms, including archeytpe and novel study for six years
