On Windy Hill

Basketball Highlights So Far ...

The Girls' Basketball team has been doing a fabulous job this season, and it's not over yet! See below for some season highlights taken at the WSP v. Stuart Country Day Game held on January 24. Go Wildcats!

A Place to Roost

Third graders began building birdhouses yesterday with the help of alumni Karrin Pearson and Andrew Elmaleh, using handsaws to cut planks of wood to measurement. While students waited for their turn to saw, they worked on their main lesson books, depicting the process of turning flax fibers into linen.

First Snowmen of Winter!

Children in the Afternoon Garden Program were thrilled with their play yard's new winter landscape. Building muddy snowmen takes team work indeed! 

Congrats to Girls' Basketball on Their Recent Win

The Waldorf School of Princeton Wildcats (Grades 5-8) won 24-14 against Princeton Charter School on Tuesday. Our students played with heart; leading their defense with a 1-3-1, they were able to keep the much taller Charter School girls to 14 points. The girls each set goals for themselves and team before the season began in earnest. They have each accomplished many of their goals, but as a team, they are off to a good start, making progress toward three of them: having fun, winning, and playing together like a team!

A Different Spin on Clothing

Ms. Sacalis treated the third grade today to a spinning wheel demonstration. The class, who among many other subjects this year studies the history of human dwellings and farming, had experienced cleaning and carding raw wool prior to Ms. Sacalis's visit, and enjoyed watching her transform fluffy roving into spun yarn. Ms. Sacalis shared her memories of preparing and spinning fibers as a young girl, and showed the children examples of dyed and knitted garments that were made with handspun yarns.

Swing Set Update

The installation of a new swing set near our parking lot attracts plenty of attention. It won't be long before it is ready for soaring students!

Tractor Barn Update

Welcome Back to 2012!

The drop in temperatures is not enough to interfere with playtime! Little ones dig and explore, while the big kids huddle and glide...
