Dear Collaborators,
This coming week, February 24th through the 28th, Olga and I will start working with both groups of children every day (except for Wednesday when I will return to immigration).
From 8am to 10am, and from 12:30pm to 2pm, I will be with 1st grade, and from 10am to 12pm, I will be will the preschool and kindergarten group. Olga will have the opposite schedule, and Karla will be with the preschool and kindergarten only. On Friday at 2pm, we will have a teachers and parents meeting.
In the morning this week I will need to informally assess the reading and math levels of the first grade so I can start teaching them appropriately form where they are now. I will experiment with various approaches somewhat spontaneously through story and song to see what feels right with the first grade and fits best. In the afternoons, we will work on virtues, drama, science and fort building. We will mostly build the tree house if we have the materials we need, otherwise we will fall back on virtues drama and exploring our ecosystems more.
As for the general year long instructional plan, Olga has designed her rough plan using Waldorf guidelines and the Costa Rican MEP guidelines. I will use the Tree of Life plan for reading, math, and science topics each month until and unless I decide to modify through ongoing consultation with Ulli and others.
Love and Light to all of you,
Sky Thoth
