Waldorf blocks/main lessons

[AngelBee]

Can someone explain how they do this?

I can not quite rap my head around "what" you do during the main lesson.  I have been searching internet and resources, reading, reading, reading......but I still can't quite get the how of it.

Hope that makes sense! lol

Thank you! :)

what a main lesson looks like depends on several things, but the two most important are what grade you are talking about, and what the main lesson subject is.

i went to waldorf school for highschool, and have been a classroom helper in grades 3,5, and 7

This series has main lesson plans (sort of, in a Waldorfy way lol) and suggested blocks

Mostly looking for 3rd and 5th gr.

I have looked at curr.  but I still don't grasp the "how" part of main lesson.

Is it kind of like a unit study?

[Greenmama2]

Yes, that's my understanding.

I'm just starting to implement Waldorf into our homeschool, so I am far from an expert.  I guess to start I would recommend that you read the following.

Grade 3

Grade 5

Here are some more links to articles by Eugene Schwartz that might help give you an idea of what Waldorf is like.

 Funny thing....I had looked at those about a week ago. lol  It just wasn't clicking.  Guess I needed some time to sleep on it.

Unit study.......that makes it totally click!  :)

Off to start doing some planning!

Still not quite sure about unit study for lit and math though :::scratching head:::
