Second Grade and the Second Grader

In this episode I’m speaking with experienced Waldorf teacher Michael Gannon all about the Waldorf approach to second grade. We explore what the needs of the developing seven and eight year old are, and then how the Waldorf second grade curriculum works to meet those needs. Additional show notes and resources for this episode can be found at the episode webpage:waldorfy.com/secondgradeTheme music for this episode was composed and performed by Book Kennison.

Waldorfy serves to explore and explain Waldorf Education and Anthroposophy. In most episodes, I discuss topics with a Waldorf teacher, or someone with knowledge about anthroposophy, to deliver accurate, simple, interesting, information and explanations. When possible we’ll bring to attention any research or studies surrounding the topics we are exploring. My main aim is to reach parents, perspective parents, and alumni to engage them with the meaning and purpose of Waldorf Education and it’s connection with anthroposophy.
