The high school experience aims to balance the students’ academic needs with their longing to find meaning in the world. \nEngaging Body\, Intellect\, and Emotion\nAt the start of each day\, movement helps spark students’ circulation and bring them together. They then engage in a long\, uninterrupted seminar (referred to as main lesson in elementary and middle school) to activate their minds\, followed by music and elective classes to spark emotional expression. Music classes and elective courses promote the development of healthy emotional expression through creation. \nHigh School Music\nRegarding music\, all high school students participate in chorus\, with the option to participate in either music ensemble or orchestra until their senior year. Students new to DWS and who have not played their instrument before are strongly encouraged to take private lessons. \nHands-On Learning of Real-World Skills\nStudents apply what they’ve learned theoretically to scenarios in the real world. For example\, a study of soil composition could be applied to a chemistry lesson on acids and bases\, as well as a close reading of The Grapes of Wrath\, and a course in black-and-white photography in which they learn to develop their own film. \nRhythm of Thinking\, Feeling\, and Willing\nOur goal is to expose our high school students to academic wealth\, and demonstrate to them that all knowledge is valuable to encourage their pursuit of wisdom throughout life. \nThe high school curriculum revisits themes and subjects periodically to strengthen functional knowledge. Students cultivate their ability to think critically\, organize ideas and information\, and clearly present thoughts through an academically challenging mix of math\, English\, humanities\, physics\, life sciences\, chemistry\, world language\, practical\, industrial and fine arts\, chorus\, orchestra\, drama\, and physical education.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout The Denver Waldorf School\nThe Denver Waldorf School is an urban pre-K through 12 independent school in Colorado. Founded in 1974 on Rudolf Steiner’s humanitarian curriculum\, DWS believes education should foster what it is to be human\, cultivate lifelong curiosity\, and inspire a love for the world. We are currently enrolling for in-person learning: \n\nPreschool and kindergarten (ECE)\nElementary school\nMiddle school\nHigh School\n\nWant to learn more about us?

SUMMARY:First Grade Readiness Q&A
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”188728″]Learn more about elementary school academics\, assessments\, and how Waldorf education prepares children for the future. Ideal for parents of preschool and kindergarten students\, this Q&A will be led by long-time Waldorf educator and student evaluation specialist Faustina Pfister.  \nDate: Tuesday\, November 29th\, 2022 \nTime: 4-5pm \nLocation: DWS First Grade Classroom (2100 S Pennsylvania\, Denver\, CO 80210) \nPlease register to reserve a seat. \nChildcare will be provided through our aftercare program. Please sign up through BigSIS if you have a currently enrolled student or email Ben Katz at benkatz@denverwaldorf.org if you have a prospective student. All students must be at least 3.5 years old and toileting independently. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nOur faculty will answer common questions about: \n\nThe transition from kindergarten to 1st grade and the first grade readiness process and evaluation\nSpecific pedagogical elements of the first grade\, presented by Magally Luna (current first grade teacher)\nWhy a strong foundation positively sets up children to excel in the lower grades (1-4) curriculum\, presented by Jessie Cartwright (current third grade teacher) \n\nSpecifically\, our faculty will cover why we do a readiness screening (versus solely going by birth date as in public school)\, and how to look at physical development\, but also neurological development as shown through body movement and integration\, spatial perception and orientation in space\, and memory. Additionally\, in Waldorf we strive to develop a holistic picture of each child in these realms plus speech and listening capacities and social/emotional maturity as well.  Therefore\, we’ll describe the “Why?” of readiness screenings and provide some examples of the “What?” each child experiences during the screening\, \nAbout Our First Grade Program\nFirst grade is a child’s introduction to the collective being of a class. We nurture a deep reverence for the earth\, compassion for classmates\, and a healthy respect for every living thing.  \nFrom knitting to numbers\, fairy tales to falling leaves\, we help first graders discover the wonders of our world and understand the rhythm of life. This year is the beginning of a multi-year relationship with their teacher. \nAbout Waldorf Educator Faustina Pfister\nFaustina Pfister has been a teacher at The Denver Waldorf school for over 20 years. She started as a teacher in the kindergarten\, then became a grades teacher 1-8. She is a certified in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Brain Gym\, Handle\, BRMT reflex integration\, and executive function.  When she left teaching\, she went on to complete a certification in the Extra Lesson\, an anthroposophical approach to curative education based on Audrey McAllen’s work. Supporting students who are non-traditional learners has been the main focus of my teaching. Currently\, she works with students one-on-one and conduct screenings.  \nAbout The Denver Waldorf School\nThe Denver Waldorf School is an urban pre-K through 12 independent school in Colorado. Founded in 1974 on Rudolf Steiner’s humanitarian curriculum\, DWS believes education should foster what it is to be human\, cultivate lifelong curiosity\, and inspire a love for the world.
