May Faire For My First Grader

Another May Faire is upon us.  This springtime festival traditionally welcomes new growth and warm days as part of the cycle of the year. Dressed in whites and pastels, children and parents gathered early in the day in our meadow to fashion their own May crowns from vines and leaves and colorful flowers and ribbons. Waldorf schools are rich in festivals.  Festivals help us to nourish our souls through the sharing of stories, food, songs and activities linked to the seasons and expressed with beauty and reverence.

My first grader was excited to sing his song and walk around the May Pole.

Here is Ms. Wilde getting ready with the class for their turn participating in the Festival.


He was very helpful making his flower crown this morning.  It was a nice day spent together.
