Fables and Word Mastery |
|
Using hands-on methods including painting, drawing, and wax modeling this class works to continue to expand the literacy skills learned in the Waldorf Fairytales and Letters course. This class uses painting, crayon and pencil drawing, and wax modeling to enhance the quality of handwriting and drawing as well as building up the child's artistic sensibility.
Each week students will hear a new fable and then draw, write, paint or model the themes that relate to that particular story. We will also study an element of word mastery. Each class will begin and end with a secular verse to get us in the mindset for working. Classes may also include movement, songs, poems or seasonal activities.
