Preschool At Home- Circle Time- Waldorf/Montessori Inspired Homeschool

I accidentally deleted the first upload so let’s try this again… I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching!
In this video I mention that I have a video sharing what’s in our circle time basket. After looking through my videos, it appears that I never uploaded that video. I apologize for that. If anyone would still like to see that video after watching this one I can either try to find it and upload it, or I can re-film it. Let me know if you’d like me to do that in the comments section.

This is a great example of a traditional preschool circle time. This is not at all in alignment with Waldorf philosophy, though. You have some materials in the background that one could possibly find in a Waldorf setting, but that does not make this an example of a Waldorf-inspired circle at any age, let alone preschool. I think it's important to be accurate in our descriptions if we are putting ourselves forth as a teacher. The quizzing of children and asking them questions like, 'What day is it?" "What color is this?" is actually believed to be damaging to a young child within the Waldorf methodology. It's not about buying some silks and some grade school books and then applying those to a public school model. You can of course do that if you so choose, but it would be more honest to call it, a 'traditional preschool circle.' At no point is a circle about showing children posters and asking them questions in Waldorf. Seasonal songs would be sung in a particular scale, in a particular way with healthy movement. Children wouldn't sit and listen to a song and answer questions asked by a teacher. For those who are interested in what a Waldorf circle does look like in preschool, here is a good example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJKahIZnpNGra6s I am not meaning to criticize, but just to offer an accurate depiction of what Waldorf is...
