Resources for a Waldorf-inspired Fifth Grade

July 21, 2020July 22, 2020 by annieandfam

I am right in the thick of figuring out the resources I will be using for my fifth grader this year. I’m sharing about resources (click here to see my resources planned for first grade) and honestly it’s all still a bit messy for fifth grade. For one thing, I am concerned about libraries being …

Block plan for fifth and first grades

July 10, 2020 by annieandfam

Hello there! We are really in the heart of summer now. My oldest daughter and I almost share a birthday, so when we celebrate the Fourth of July and then our 48-hour birthday, it always feels to me that we’re at the apex of that expansive, light-filled stretch of summer that I love so much. …

Norse Myths

February 13, 2020February 14, 2020 by annieandfam

In January, my fourth grader and I spent the month on a Norse Myths block. Studying the Norse Myths is a traditional component of a Waldorf fourth grade, but I was completely unfamiliar with the stories myself. I am not using a curriculum this year, so I was quite intimidated teaching a block of stories …

September in our homeschool

October 11, 2018October 12, 2018 by annieandfam

I’ve decided to play around with writing a monthly recap of our homeschool life. I share a fair bit about homeschooling over on Instagram, but find it quite limiting as far as really exploring things in-depth or really processing my thoughts on a topic. Instagram offers glimpses. Sometimes I think I’d like to have something …

Our favorite gear for forest school

September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 by annieandfam

My oldest child will be starting her fourth year attending a one-day-a-week forest school this week and (very exciting!) this is the first year our middle child will be attending as well. I cannot overstate the massive contribution the forest school experience has made to our homeschool and to the development of my oldest child. …

We hiked the loop around Tre Cime - the iconic peaks in the Dolomites - and it was really flipping hard and really flipping worth it.
Austria ➡️ Italy. We drove south through spectacular landscapes today, including Hohe Tauern National Park, and landed in the Dolomites, a region we’ve been wanting to see for a long time. The first photo is Pasterze Glacier in the park and the second is from a cemetery in Dobbiaco with a view of the mountains.
If America wants to show it values life let’s start with ✔️ universal healthcare ✔️ paid family leave ✔️ raising the minimum wage ✔️ universal pre-k ✔️ investing in our schools ✔️ making college affordable ✔️ protecting our citizens from gun violence. What if we led with love instead of control?
The kids burned out on tourism and walking hours each day so we found a pool where the locals go. Such a fun time. I’ll be so sad when our time in Salzburg comes to an end. It’s an amazing city - I really had no idea how lucky I was to live here for a year in college.
We took our kids on the Sound of Music tour, which was so dorky but so fun. American tourists are obsessed with this movie and most Austrians have never even seen it. This is the church where Maria married Captain von Trapp. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨
Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy! I wish we could take you to a castle and an ice cave in the Alps every day. 🏔
A day trip to Königssee in Bavaria. So beautiful. (Not pictured: hot, cranky people, confusing parking, ATM problems, everyone reached their limit on sausage consumption, etc. You know, real life.)
Salzburg! 😭 😍 It’s been seven years since we’ve visited - our oldest was the age our youngest is now. This is the city where my husband and I met and fell in love, while studying abroad. This is where our story started and it’s magical to be back. (Lots more photos in Stories & I saved a highlight reel called Europe 2022.)
