The flower fairy waits for no-one
One of the things I really like about Waldorf education is the attention that the teachers spend on creating a warm, inviting, classroom. Every class I’ve seen has a “Nature Table”, for example, where students bring in interesting or cool things they’ve found in the great outdoors, be it a rock, stick, leaf, snake skin, or whatever else catches their eye.
In our school, parents also take turns being the flower fairy, which is what I find myself having to deal with tonight, even though it’s almost 11pm. The flower fairy, as we say, waits for no-one…
