On Tuesday, we did a version of the story of St George, how he received his name. But first I just want to share a little something I do to make my life easier and hold the kids attention…Those chalkboard drawings…I get a lot of emails asking how to do them or if they’re really […]

Before I started homeschooling the kids, I used to help out with the Grade 1 and Grade 2 Handwork classes at their Waldorf school. Which looking back […]

On Saturday afternoon we made a lantern each. I couldn’t face the paper ones this year. I saw what happened to them last year. They just got crumpled and ended up in a toy box. So we went with glass. Another reason being we live in a seriously windy area and the candle will […]

Hi Everyone,
I’d like to carry on with the 4 Temperaments, as promised. The Sanguine child is quite easy for me to explain, as both my son and myself have a dominant Sanguine personality. Together left to our natural temperament, we’d achieve little jumping from task to task with glee.
