The Yearly Rhythm

here are some activities I scheduled over the year based on seasonal or holiday themes. You may want to add or subtract from this list. I indicated which items are traditional Waldorf and which holidays are “extras”. We had a very international student body so, as Steiner recommends, I included celebrations that “honored all members of our community” – that is why I have so many extra holidays listed in my lesson plans. More themes are details on those themes are located in the member file “My Waldorf Year” for members of www.EarthSchooling.com – if you are a member and have trouble locating that file
