What I do, is I have two in the grades and a kinder. So there's enough block pages for each kid to have one section per month per block, even if it's a reoccurring block! So it'll start with the month we start, this year it's August, tab one is blue and is sectioned off for my 6th grader, block is laid out, materials, experiences, trips etc and the next page with the weeks I white it out and label them for weeks 1-4 in a month. We're doing five days a week this year and taking every tenth off so that rounds out to be every other Monday off and the end of the month is pretty open! So we can use that for trips, make up work, wrapping up, documentaries etc.
Great question! This will very based on the amount of time you have available for planning, your temperament and how many kids you are planning for. When you have multiple children you can also keep in mind you can re use that artwork for the next child. Which grade(s) are you planning for?
So helpful, Melisa! Thank you!❤

Sounds like a fabulous plan!

How far ahead do you gather resources, supplies and make artwork? 😊

@@waldorfessentials kindergarten 🤣
I thought the alphabetical order didn't matter in Waldorf? Maybe I'm confused, I haven't looked at the revised edition of grade one yet.
You are correct the letters are not taught in a traditional abc order.
@@waldorfessentials good thing to know! I'll have one in first grade next year!
Third time teaching it ❤️
