What a fabulous list! This makes me miss teaching kids.
Oh my - you are so much ahead of me... I will have to dig deep this coming week to catch up. I did place my yarn order however...
What a great list! Do you do woodwork too or is that a separate teacher? Grade 5 is a great time to use the will to find form in wood. Make a toy or windvane with movable parts from plywood, care for the tools, find organic form in carving a fish or an egg.
Knitting with socks with three needles or gloves, mittens or a beanie with four needles in circular is great too.
Thanks for all the inspiration :-)
Great list! Hi I am the Handwork teacher for the Waldorf School of Garden City. Can you send me your pattern for the bear? (This is my first year teaching handwork in several years.) I will be teaching grades 1-6. Thanks Josephine
