IS YOUR CHILD ENROLLED IN A WALDORF SCHOOL OR A WALDORF INSPIRED HOMESCHOOL?
Second grade Waldorf students hear stories about fables, animal tales and saints because the stories mirror the development of 7-8 year-olds. Whereas the first grader was intent on pleasing his or her teacher, second graders are becoming more daring and independent and have a dash of the mischievous that mirrors many of the characters and situations explored in these stories.
WHY SAINT STORIES
Saint stories abound in Waldorf second grade classes as this is the time when most 8 and 9 year-olds find their independent and adventurous side, with a bit of mischievousness here and there. Saint stories can mirror these features while also being archetypes for heroic actions, courage, honor, good deeds standing up for others and doing the right thing.Â
