Our Daily Rhythm


Part of a Waldorf classroom is having a daily rhythm...not just our usual daily schedule but a single activity that the children know will happen on a very specific day. When this happens the children learn to keep time, the days of the week do not just all blend together they really understand the sequence of them. The children may come to call a day by this activity such as "Baking Day" instead of saying Monday!


Here is our daily rhythm:

  • Monday: Baking Day (mix, measure, and taste to create a morning snack)

  • Tuesday: Yoga Day (stretch, imagine, relax, set goals and intentions)

  • Wednesday: Nature Walk Day (observe, explore, collect, and use our 5 senses to enjoy the surrounding natural spaces)

  • Thursday: Cooking Day (chop, peel, spread, and stir to make a morning snack)

  • Friday: Show & Tell (ask and answer questions and language practice skills)
