Description
Michaelmas – 13 pages: One week of lesson plans with mentoring comments, the festival’s spiritual background for the teacher, 3 pages of images incl. craft project templates, 2 stories, 2 pages of general information, and A WALDORF DIARY’s Main Lesson index.
Includes a free seasonal Morning Circle template with items from the previous chapter, reduced in number and rearranged for the festival week. Customise it for your cultural setting, or use it to teach English as a foreign language.
This chapter provides background knowledge for the teacher and shows how this annual festival can be brought to young children in a meaningful way with a story, artwork and a craft project. An old legend about a spider begins a topic that is taken up in the following chapter, teaching empathy through understanding.
This is a wonderful resource that will help your entire school plan its Michaelmas celebration and give you classroom activities to help form your class in the early weeks of school. I also think it’s of particular value to homeschoolers who are planning a more intimate celebration.
Worth every penny. This chapter is full of helpful info, excellent craft ideas, and stories and pictures, all on the theme of Michaelmas. In short, there’s everything you’ll need to prepare for Michaelmas.
