Fields & Fire BlogThe First Day
of school at home. Ella’s been very, very interested in school lately. Luckily, my inner fire was kindled a month or so ago by some of Carrie’s fabulous planning posts, so I had gotten a planner from A Little Garden Flower, and started putting our year together. When I told her school would start yesterday, she was so excited! She jumped out of bed and wanted to put on her fanciest dress.
“School” right now, is mostly just our usual rhythm, but with a weekly theme (an idea I garnered from Little Acorn Learning). This week is babies, so we’re reading books about babies, yesterday we made a baby collage (and then made it again), and the story I’m telling this week is about the Rainbow Bridge (from Beyond the Rainbow Bridge). Coming up weeks include: apples/Rosh Hashannah, nuts, sheep/wool, squash, gnomes. I’m not sure who’s more excited, me or Ella!
Happy start of the new school year everyone, at home or elsewhere!
Hooray! Lovely pictures!
Hello. You are the first other mommy I have found who is Jewish and does Waldorf inspired homeschooling. Do you have any tips or resources on mixing Jewish learning and Waldorf inspired learning for young children? I have books on one or the other but none on both, Just wondering if there was anything out there that I am missing or perhaps some advice you might have. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!! Oh, and happy state of the new school year to you!!
that is SO CUTE! Her getting her best dress on for first day of school, it is wonderful
I wish you both long happy hours of learning and fun.
Happy new homeschool year! We start next week with the Ottawa Not Back To School picnic, what could be better to get things going well! I am so excited to be starting our school at home, finally.
Hope you have a good first, second and fiftieth week!
