Simply Waldorf courses make Waldorf homeschool easier. These simple, easy to follow video lessons will deepen and enrich your child's educational experience. In Waldorf Education, at the very core of its principles, requires the teacher to consider the child first, not the curriculum. So, before we consider what goes into a second grade course, let's consider the second grader. The second grader is a 7/8 year-old child. While there are many things we can say about this age of childhood, let's keep it simple. Children love stories. Also, at this age the child has a consciousness dawning to the experience of duality or polarities. In other words, the child is beginning, just beginning to have an awareness of right/wrong, good/bad. Before this, they may have understood the behaviors that we have taught them, but now they are sensing the “goodness“ itself within their own arising conscience. Naturally, as adults we know that life is not so simple as duality. As the children grow and mature, they will transcend this simplistic way of understanding the world and of understanding themselves. For now, however, this is right where they are. It is with this understanding that we can proceed. We’d love to hear from you. Please leave comments!
