Animal journey projects are finished and on display! The 5th and 6th grade have been in a block about geography, creative writing, and history. The students navigated Lewis and Clark's journey through the perspective of a dog (they read The Captain's Dog by Roland Smith) and have now completed their own story books through the lens of an animal in a specific region of the United States. What made this weeks long project even more exciting is that in handwork class, the students created a matching 3D needle felted animal along side their work.
Waldorf education brings storytelling and history alive by creating relevant content with multidimensional learning.

The third grade shelter block is one of the highlights of third grade at a Waldorf school! For about three weeks, the students learn about dwellings from all over the globe through time, and in multiple different cultures. The fourth week is set aside for building the dwellings that each child has chosen. Research is done on: 1 Location 2 Weather 3 People and culture 4 landscape 5 Building supplies and method.
Each student presents their project to the class and then puts their work on display in the school hallway for the other grades to enjoy.
This project touches on geography, history, meteorology, different religions from around the world, diets that different people have according to their geographical location, and even economical differences.
Come see these amazing projects in the hallway at Bright Water!

The Cultural Share and Indigenous curriculum weaves throughout the school, but especially the fourth grade.
As the students learn more about our local Coast Salish people's history, traditions, and first hand experiences, the students attended a three day event led and taught by elders called a Cultural Share. Multiple Waldorf schools attend and they learn art, stories, flute, and partake in a Salmon Bake. Each school creates a gift to share with others.
One of the most beautiful projects is the bags the students make specifically for the Cultural Share~ these bags are cross-stitched by hand with a unique design created by each student. A most wonderful and memorable Bright Water tradition.

Embroidery work can be simple or complex, but finding ways to beautify something simple is a fun way to create style and feel unique! Middle school students worked on embroidery for a portion of the school year and for fun they added flair to a simple bandana!
