At Bright Water Waldorf School, painting is a vital part of the weekly curriculum and deepens the connection to the lessons and learning. Painting in Waldorf schools is a foundational, developmental curriculum rather than a standalone art class, using color and form to awaken a child's inner life, concentration, and emotional growth.

The Bright Water Waldorf 3rd Grade is learning the first of several creation stories. Ms Hunt has been narrating the days of creation sequentially over the first few weeks, accompanied by wet-on-wet watercolor painting (separating light from dark, deep blue ocean waters, vibrant sun/star forms, and today animals). What a delight to paint a wolf howling at the full moon!

Tonight begins Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jews all over the world. As they begin their prayers, 25 hour fasting, and Kol Nidre, we send them kindness and ease.

Bright Water Waldorf is closed tomorrow in honor of Yom Kippur.

Bright Water Waldorf observes Yom Kippur and Eid in addition to Christmas to acknowledge the beautiful diversity within our community.

May your fast be easy and "Gmar chatimah tovah".

Early childhood education is often treated as soft because the children are small. But helping young children learn boundaries, language, repair, turn-taking, belonging, and safety is not soft work. It is community work. Dr Cameron McCuaig

Fourth and Fifth grade are diving deep into Washington State local history and geography. This block is jam-packed and full of expanding perspectives. The students begin with noticing things in a different way and mapping their immediate surroundings (classroom and home) and then move onto Washington State (including local Indigenous history, map-making, and regional ecosystems). This year will have many ways that the students begin their outward journey from local surroundings to cover the geography, map drawing, and cultures of Turtle Island, North America, and the United States.

Embroidery and cross-stitch, two beautiful ways the 4th and 5th graders are diving into handwork this fall. Handwork is an incredible way the students can use their hands, create beautiful and practical designs, and really learn life skills.
