The Gnomes Home

Monday's show

Tomorrow's show:

When: Monday, August 24th 6am Mountain Time
Where: livevideo.com/alittlegardenflower
How long: about an hour
Topic: relationships - all kinds - with mom, MIL, family, spouse... and how it can have an affect on your homeschooling, what you can do to insulate yourself and still be a beacon for your child and family.

This will be the last show until September 7th.  We are soaking up the last of the rays on this end - dipping our toes in the lake and river as much as we can for a couple more weeks before we get to our regular rhythm. 

September 7th's show topic is: the first days back... how will it go? if you are back, how did it go?

Blessings to all.

Planning part 3

Last week's show on planning is available in our store.

Part 2 on Planning!

Today's continued discussion of planning is ready for download from our store.

I hope you enjoy it! 

Also, if you are in planning mode and need some help from a little day planner, check out our Waldorf homeschooling planner ebook.  I recommend the ebook version because you can use it over and over in your school planning and life management.

Blessings!

Recent shows

We've got two shows available for you this week in our store.  This week's show is the first in a series of planning shows and the other is a show from June on handwork.  

Grade 6 part 1 and Chapter 3 for "Rhythms of Learning"

Did you miss our show today?  It was a full show over two hours.  I decided half way through the show that we needed to split grade 6 into three parts.  This is part one - we covered language arts and geography for grade six. We also covered the first portion of chapter 3 for "Rhythms of Learning" - the chapter covers the kindergarten years.  BIG stuff!  Great information for families with children of all ages.  I always try to speak to mom as much as the grade she's teaching.  To download this show visit our store.

Next Monday, we plan to discuss the social studies and history portion of grade 6  AND we will finish up chapter 3 of the book study "Rhythms of Learning".

It isn't too late to join the book study! And even if you don't get the book, listen anyway!  The information is always good.

Blessings!

Grade 5 part 2, Gratitude and Love

The following show is part two of the grade five discussion.  This installment also has the last half of chapter two for the book study on "Rhythms of Learning".  We focused on Steiner's thoughts of teaching gratitude and there is a great lecture in this section of the book titled 'Gratitude, Love and Duty' from April 20, 1923.  This show is available in our store.

This is tough - often we find ourselves with children who are not practicing gratitude and Steiner really drives home that for the young child it has to be modeled - so mamas... how is your level of gratitude?  What are you cultivating in your home?

January 9th, 2009 - Grade 1 radio show

Great show today!  If you missed it then please visit our store.

The basics of grade one were covered, as well as, many other topics.

December 12th broadcast Early Childhood

The December 12th show on early childhood and Waldorf education is ready for you in our store.

Blessings.

December 5th ~ Inner Work & Planning

You can now purchase the December 5th broadcast on inner work. Remember when you listen that it was a live show and recorded - we also have chat open so there were folks listening in our chat room and commenting.  

Keep in mind the show will take a few minutes to download depending on your Internet connection.  Be patient.  Make some tea.

We covered inner work, school planning, and how a successful homeschooling family has to consist of both.  Waldorf is about far more than beautiful paintings and gnomes, it is about growth and reaching one's full human capacity of the child AND the teacher (that's you MOM).  Tune in and learn how to make changes that last, and turn your rhythm around once and for all.  Feel excited to greet each day with your children and learn how to make your home the peaceful place you want it to be.
