Which Waldorf curriculum?

[DharmaDisciple]

I have a 5 yr old and a nearly 10 yr old. Is it possible to do 2 separate curriculums with them? Does anyone else do this?

I have the Christopherus Kindergarten book that I have used before, so was hoping to use this for my son, he can also join in the storytelling and art sessions of my daughter. Am I right in thinking Waldorf Grade 3 is ages 9-10?

What Waldorf curriculum do people recommend for older ages eg my daughter aged 9? What is available for her age?

NAK

well there is christopherus curriculum for a 3rd grader... if you wanted to keep going with that. other waldorf / waldorf-ish curriculums include:
live-education http://www.live-education.com/
and
oak meadow http://www.oakmeadow.com/

i think the christopherus K would easily fit into any waldorf system for your family so it wouldn't be too hard to use a 'different' curriculum for your older child.

You could try Golden Beetle Books. They're not a curriculum as in "do this today, that tomorrow" but more of a syllabus. There would be guides for all subject areas for your daughter's age (would be called "class 3" though).

A syllabus would be better than a curriculum as I also have a 5 yr old and it is easier to design my own homeschool for the both if them.

I will have a look at Golden Beetle- thanks x
