🌸✨ Welcome to Waldorf Fairy School! ✨🌸Get ready for a dazzling summer adventure where playful fairies, hidden forest friends, and magical quests lead you into the enchanting world of long vowels. Designed especially for Grades 1-4, this six-week journey is filled with excitement, creativity, and joyful learning! 📚 What to Expect: 🌼 Meet the Fairies: Each week, a new fairy friend appears in a captivating 15-minute story video, inviting children to join their imaginative world while exploring the magic of long vowels. 📝 Magical Mad Libs: Silly, hilarious word games that transform learning into pure fun as kids fill in the blanks and create wacky fairy tales! 🎨 Fairy Art Prompts: From drawing shimmering wings to sketching secret fairy gardens, kids will create art inspired by the weekly tales. ✍️ Writing Adventures: Children will write their own fairy stories, craft letters to fairies, or describe their most fantastical dreams. 🏰 Share Your Magic: Each week, children post their drawings and writing in the classroom, where their creativity is celebrated with kind, uplifting feedback from the teacher. 💫 Join Waldorf Fairy School, where imagination soars, laughter echoes, and learning feels like pure magic! ✨ Just a note... In my experience students do best when they master the short vowel and digraph classes before the long vowel classes.
