每週 1-2 小時. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS At the beginning of each block children will be provided with a set of Main Lesson Book focussed homework assignments based on the current block and previous learning. Although this is optional, we do recommend that children complete the homework in order to strengthen classroom learning. If completed homework is sent to the teacher you will receive feedback.評估
We believe in continuous feedback. Instead of focusing solely on end-of-unit tests, we use ongoing formative assessments. These could be interactive activities, short responses, or even lively discussions. This approach allows us to celebrate progress, catch misunderstandings early on, and adjust our teaching to support each student's individual learning journey.我們無法翻譯此文,請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Welcome to our second-grade class! As we continue our magical journey of learning, inspired by the Waldorf approach, our focus will remain on nurturing each child's academic and creative growth. Our curriculum, as carefully crafted as ever, entwines the magic of nature, the arts, and the sciences. It offers a rich and dynamic learning experience that lets children explore the natural world, awaken their artistic abilities, and grasp the interconnectedness of all knowledge. Neatly arranged into 10 blocks, each lasting 2-4 weeks, our curriculum focuses on essential subjects like language arts, mathematics, and nature studies. Throughout the year, your child will delve into a range of engaging topics such as mythical stories, algorithms, and the marvels of nature. In line with Waldorf tradition, we believe in teaching in blocks. This unique approach enables learners to deeply engage with a single subject for an extended period, typically two to four weeks, before transitioning to another subject. Block teaching not only enhances depth of learning but also integrates core subjects like math, language arts, social studies, and science into every block. This holistic method helps learners see the interconnections between different subjects, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them. By the end of each block, children will have gained comprehensive knowledge of the topic, along with valuable skills and insights that can be applied to other areas of their learning journey and their lives. We provide ample opportunities for learners to fully immerse themselves in their studies, supporting deep and meaningful engagement with each subject. We're excited to embark on this new phase of our educational journey with your child! BLOCK OVERVIEW 1. Tales of the Wise: Exploring Fables and their Lessons This block introduces students to the enchanting world of fables, focusing on their rich narratives and moral lessons. Through reading and discussion, students will identify key themes, develop vocabulary, and engage in creative writing activities that correlate with the fables' teachings. 2. Crunching Numbers: Discovering the Four Processes In this mathematics block, students will gain proficiency in the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Through practical exercises and story problems, they will enhance their computational skills and understanding of arithmetic processes. 3.
