Long time no post! I started a new job. I am a part-time teacher, handwork teacher at Prairie Moon Waldorf School in Lawrence Kansas. I was extremely scared about this new job. I was so nervous the week following my interview at Prairie Moon School. My fear was more so, cause I have never taught, plus at a school that has a curriculum that is about creating well rounded creative, able, individuals. I think I knew I was supposed to do this job. Their were so many signs not only that, I really have been following a certain path.
I teach combined grades 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th. Twice a week the students learn handwork at Prairie Moon. Prairie Moon is growing and I realizing that is going to be much different teaching handwork than those Waldorf schools which have been established much longer. I have many challenges ahead of me and am really excited to meet those challenges.
I really love getting to know and grow with the students at Prairie Moon. I hope to be able to post more often about the our progress with handwork to help others like me who are new to handwork in a Waldorf school.
We're so glad to have you with us, Raven. You have a lot of support from parents and teachers. And most importantly the children already love you. Steiner said it best when he said that education without love and sympatico between teacher and child is empty.
