In this Waldorf-inspired class, we will delve into this amazing story of adventure, bravery, and humor by Astrid Lindgren in Ronia, The Robber's Daughter with main characters Ronia and Birk. In each class we will light a candle and read chapters together (teacher reading) and then draw pictures based on the part of the story we read. We will do some short writing to process the story, as well. We will also recall what we read the week before and answer some comprehension questions as a group to truly process the story deeper. This is a story that I found especially beloved by 5th graders in my library and any grades around this level that haven't read it yet will also enjoy. "Full of high adventure, hairbreadth escapes, droll earthy humor, and passionate emotional energy." ~Horn Book review I have worked as a school librarian and library teacher for six years at a Waldorf school. It is exciting to bring these beloved books and stories internationally to students around the world on Outschool. My teaching style is one of inviting students to love the books that they are reading and to truly immerse themselves in the character and story. I allow processing time through drawing and simple questions that ask readers to go a bit deeper. The structure of each class will look the same each week (week 1-8). Class time: 1-5 minutes recall story from week before 20 minutes reading time (2-3 chapters each week) 10 minutes drawing/writing time Week One: Chapters 1-2 Week Two: Chapters 3-4 Week Three: Chapters 5-6 Week Four: Chapters 7-8 Week Five: Chapters 9-10 Week Six: Chapters 11-13 Week Seven: Chapters 14-16 Week Eight: Chapters 17-18

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of Phoenix
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 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 have also worked with middle and high schoolers for almost three years on Outschool.
