Renee Schwartz
Hello! I have four children (ages 21, 19, 18, and 8) and I have been a Waldorf homeschool consultant since 2005. Thousands of people a year from around the world visit my website. I hold an M.S. in Curriculum & Instruction, with additional training in Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia methods. I am currently part of Cycle 11 of the Applied Arts Program for Waldorf Handwork teachers (fibercraftstudio.org). I am also the lead teacher at Little Bluestem, a homeschool co-op located in Southern Illinois (littleblustem.org). I share my ongoing collection of curriculum notes from my own classroom for free online at waldorfcurriculum.com. Please note that I am an Amazon Affiliate.

About this course
Welcome to this short 5-day course on block planning for the Farming & Gardening main lesson. This third grade topic is hands-on and fun, as well as being the perfect way to integrate a key grade 3 Math concept: Linear Measurement! It also integrates well with topics older children may be studying (such as grade 5 Botany and grade 7 Chemistry). Get specific guidance on how to plan this block, including free sources for stories and tons of activity suggestions. This course series has a focus on collaboration and group support in lesson planning, along with personalized help from me. It is aimed at homeschoolers who are already familiar with the Waldorf method, but would appreciate extra feedback and encouragement in planning this block. Make friends and ask questions as you work through this inspiring, do-able, step by step course. Just $30.00. This is a 'go at your own pace course' and you can refer to it forever!
