Typically taught in class 4 or 5, this Human Being and Animal World block is based on Waldorf methods and includes hands-on learning and concepts typically used in Waldorf education. We will study animals and how they relate to the systems of the human body. In this study animals are compared to the head, trunk, and limbs of the human being as described by Waldorf founder Rudolf Steiner.
This class will meet once a week for 12 weeks or 15 lessons for the flex and self-guided classes.
Students will do 6 animal observation drawings, and complete a final animal report and diorama. All material learned in class will be recorded by the student in their main lesson book.
