On Windy Hill

Race to Nowhere

The Race to Nowhere is showing this week in Princeton. This film focuses on the high-pressure environment—mostly in schools—that children today are experiencing. The good news is that this troubling situation is being brought to light. We at the Waldorf School of Princeton are thankful that our school, like all Waldorf schools, provides, as Christina Sbarra in the attached blog interview says, "a living, deep, creative, balanced, and humanizing education" for our children.

Second Grade's Journey through the Woods

 

Earlier this week, the Second Grade set out to plan in the light where their lanterns will take them tonight in the dark.  While exploring their surroundings, they came across small dwellings built by the Third Grade students - structures made of sticks and leaves but sturdy enough to withstand visits from even a big, bad wolf!

The puppet show

The puppet stage  for is prepared for telling the first story of the year.  For the children of this class the study of language begins with the rich images and engaging stories of this  puppet show.  The children love to learn these stories and retell them to their parents.
