My Students

A typical day in my classroom is anything but typical. As a charter Waldorf school I stay with my 22 students for many years! Going through the grades with the children, allows me to know my students in a way no other teacher could. At our K-8 school, students receive a personalized education.

I have just begun my journey with a class of 22 spirited 5th graders and am beginning to learn what each one of them needs and how to build our classroom community.

They are from all different ethnic backgrounds, though most come from working-class families. At our school, we don't view our arts program as the cherry on top of the cake. It is the cake. We believe the arts are what make us human, and that learning to paint, sing, play an instrument, act, and dance are as important as math and language. Our school motto is that we teach through the head, hands, and heart. Many of our children come from single parent homes. For many of these students, the security of school is their oasis.

My Project

After over a year and a half spent in distance learning, my students are so excited to be back at school to engage in activities that could not be done in a virtual format. While much learning still happened from home, the students' eagerness to participate in school waned.

Time spent playing with friends on the playground, practicing an instrument together, or learning a new game are all invaluable experiences that make school some place the children look forward to coming each day.

Your gift of sports equipment, new recorders, and chess sets allow the children the opportunity to build and strengthen positive relationships with their peers as well as gaining confidence as they learn new skills. Thank you for your support of our classroom.
