What is a Waldorf Education?
Created over a century ago by Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf curriculum integrates the arts, academics, hands-on learning, and a connection to the natural world. By catering to each child's developmental stages, students develop into free-thinking, socially responsible individuals who are ready to meet life's challenges.

waldorfnolaA Glimpse into Grade 5: The fifth grader is looking at the world around them with curiosity and awe. Although they remain imaginative, the students delve into keen observations and educated guesses about the world around them. Our fifth-grade class is exploring the world around through a Botany block. The class is learning about fungi, moss, lichen, flowering, and non-flowering plants. They are learning categories of the plant kingdom and discussing root structure as well as seeds and spores. The class has started mushroom and pea growing kits which turns the group’s attention to how the classroom’s temperature and sunlight can affect plant growth. Today the class took a field trip via the Esplanade bus to We Bite Rare & Unusual Plants.We Bite specializes in carnivorous plants, tropical plants, and other exotic flora. We Bite is a sanctuary for the botanically curious. The class took a hands-on workshop to create their own bog garden for their classroom. In the workshop the children learned about Venus Flytraps, Pitcher plants, Sundew plants and so many others. These unusual plants require very specific care to stay healthy. Thank you We Bite for today’s experiential learning opportunity. It was a rare and unusual treat to experiment, learn, and discuss these fascinating plants. Next the class will write informational pages and draw pictures of the plants seen today. #waldorfnola #waldorfeducation #waldorfgrade5 #botany #experientiallearning14 days ago
