Grade Two Basics

Description

My Grade Two Basics package a basic framework that will help you give form to the entire 2^nd grade year.

Here’s what’s included . . .

• A list of recommended resources and supplies
• A detailed 2^nd grade block rotation
• An explanation of the block rotation, explaining why and how the year is arranged as it is.
• A 2^nd grade main lesson rhythm. This rhythm outlines the flow of our daily lessons, including the songs, poems and verses that give it form.
• A document explaining my thoughts behind the daily main lesson rhythm with the why and how it is arranged as it is.
• A sample back-to-school letter.
• Our 2^nd grade weekly schedule.
• A collection of songs and verses to use throughout the year. These are the songs and verses that will stay consistent guideposts of your year, including the lower grades morning verse.
• A very thorough document that is a guide to completing the traditional 2^nd grade assessment. In the Waldorf world, the 2^nd grade assessment is a developmental assessment (with a small sampling of academic work.) This guide is a translation of a document that was prepared for Waldorf schools in Holland. I received it in my teacher training and it is an excellent resource for teachers who do not have access to a trained remedial teacher to do the assessment.

I hope you find this packet useful and come back to A Waldorf Journey to check for updates. At this writing (September 2018) I am compiling more 2^nd grade materials. Check back to find more curriculum guides to support your 2^nd grade year.
