These past few weeks we have been delighted to share in the joy and power of African drumming and culture. Grades 4-8 have been on an exciting intercultural journey with Mr. Oula, an African drum and dance master who has been sharing his passion through teaching for over 30 years. Originally from the Ivory Coast, Mr. Oula incorporates a oral tradition teaching style which includes drumming, cultural background information, and dance.

Joyful education at its best.

Snow, glorious snow! One of the joys of witnessing Waldorf's youngest students learn and grow in our nature-immersed Children's Garden is their reactions to the unique gifts presented by each fleeting season. At turns, awe-filled wonder, at others gleeful excitement, and in each sheer delight.

The Children's Garden was, as ever, hard at work this week.

In a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom, teachers participate with enthusiasm in the kind of purposeful work children can innately understand and naturally wish to imitate.
