Thank you for another incredible year of learning. Time for a big exhale and some free play outdoors. In this post you will find an invitation to practice over the summer, as well as info on how to stay connected. Waldorf Practice for SummerFor many, summer break offers a natural out-breath after a long school year of concentrated focus and learning. From the perspective of Waldorf education, children need this balance of in-breath and out-breath to create a healthy rhythm in their lives. Out-breath activities such as art making, nature walks, water play, singing, playing an instrument, gardening and free play outdoors can be alternated with in-breath activities such as storytime, handwork, drinking warm tea, and resting in the shade. Depending on your child's age, families may want to practice alternating in-breath and out-breath activities to see what they discover for themselves. Why Practice: The truth is, most adults have not received this style of inside-out, early education. Practicing together in simple ways offers us the opportunity to strengthen the roots & fruits of the entire learning community and beyond. Quality playtime nourishes the whole - head, heart and hands. Stay ConnectedIn July, the school and Parentsquare will be closed for updates. That said, a small staff will be onsite. If something should come up, please don’t hesitate to contact our director, Dr. Linda or stop on by. Other ways to stay connected:
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. Otherwise, we will be contacting you in early August with all the dates and details about the upcoming school year.
