How does movement support strong reading skills? Movement Specialist Faustina Pfister and Reading Specialist Milandra Pfister discuss the ways developmental movement and reading acquisition intersect\, and share a glimpse into how anthroposophy shapes alumni and teacher biographies.\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nWith 25 years teaching at the Denver Waldorf School\, and as a parent to two alumni\, Faustina Pfister observed the impact of movement on children’s academic success as a 1-8 grades teacher.\n\nFaustina’s first encounter with Waldorf education was as a kindergarten student herself—the first time she remembers feeling truly seen\, held by the warmth of a teacher. Later\, witnessing a sibling struggle with learning differences deepened her interest in how children learn in diverse ways.\n\nAs a grades 1–8 teacher\, she noticed that students who struggled academically often faced challenges with movement\, including coordination\, balance\, and bilateral integration. She came to see how rhythm supports math learning and how crossing the midline strengthens language development.\n\nInspired further by her own daughter’s learning journey\, Faustina transitioned out of the classroom to focus on therapeutic movement\, offering children embodied pathways to learning that support the whole child.\n\n\n\nMilandra Pfister is wrapping up her seventh year at The Denver Waldorf School\, where she brings both structure and heart to her work as a Reading Interventionist. A Waldorf alum herself\, and daughter of a Waldorf teacher\, Milandra grew up surrounded by education. Milandra is passionate about helping children access the joy and freedom that comes with reading. She’s especially attuned to the emotional journey of students who struggle with literacy\, celebrating each breakthrough and building their confidence through patient\, individualized instruction.\n\nIn her classroom\, Milandra uses a mix of learning games\, manipulatives\, and lesson variation to keep things dynamic and engaging. Her approach draws on the thinking\, feeling\, and willing framework central to Waldorf education.\n\nMilandra hopes her students leave her care not only with strong reading skills\, but also with a deep sense of self-trust\, the confidence to advocate for their unique learning styles\, and a lifelong love for reading- whether for knowledge\, empathy\, or just plain fun.

In the early 90’s\, she was invited to become a member of the pedagogical section and to join the AWSNA board\, contributing to the development of Waldorf education beyond the local community. Over the decades\, she has continued to shape Waldorf education locally and internationally while remaining a beloved teacher and guiding presence at the Denver Waldorf School\, where her dedication still supports the life of the school today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Clark – Honorarium Teacher\, High School Art and Middle School Physics Teacher \nTom Clark has been a grade school teacher at DWS since 1985 and has taken three classes through the grades.

As a culmination of the students’ studies\, they participate in a Pentathlon\, which is an athletic event based on the ancient Greek games. As with all aspects of our Waldorf curriculum\, the event is designed to relate directly to the students’ learning and development\, bringing relevancy and enthusiasm for their studies. Grouped into five City States- Sparta\, Athens\, Corinth\, Ithaca\, and Thebes\, the students compete in the following events: \n\nLong run\nLong jump\nDiscus\nSprint\nJavelin\nWrestling\n\nThroughout their training and also on the day of the event\, students observe the nobility\, compassion\, and uprightness of each athlete. This also provides an alternate understanding of competition to what is often displayed in our modern popular culture.\nIn preparation for the festivities\, the students also write odes to their favorite Greek goddess or god and recite their compositions to those gathered as part of the opening ceremonies. The ritual opening\, with the lighting of the torch and the offering of poems\, very much sets a beautiful tone for the day. While the children put forth their best efforts in achieving results in speed and distance\, more important is their display of grace\, beauty\, and form. \nPre-order lunch\n\n \n \n \n \n Email\n \n Product Name Quantity\n \n \n Price:\n $15.00\n \n \n Quantity \n Credit Card\n American ExpressDiscoverMasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: American Express\, Discover\, MasterCard\, Visa\n \n Card Number\n \n \n Expiration Date\n \n \n Month\n \n Month010203040506070809101112\n \n \n \n Year\n \n Year20262027202820292030203120322033203420352036203720382039204020412042204320442045\n \n \n \n \n \n  \n Security Code\n \n \n \n Cardholder Name URL:https://denverwaldorf.org/event/5th-grade-pentathlon-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260512T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260512T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T054107 CREATED:20250818T203419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250818T203419Z UID:4697960-1778601600-1778605200@denverwaldorf.org SUMMARY:College Series- Making the Most of Summer and Preparing to Apply DESCRIPTION: URL:https://denverwaldorf.org/event/college-series-making-the-most-of-summer-and-preparing-to-apply/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260516 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260517 DTSTAMP:20260425T054107 CREATED:20250804T195809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250804T195809Z UID:4697918-1778889600-1778975999@denverwaldorf.org SUMMARY:Sweet Peas Spring Sessions End- Saturdays DESCRIPTION: URL:https://denverwaldorf.org/event/sweet-peas-spring-sessions-end-saturdays/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
