Waldorf Co-op

With the beautiful mid-70s weather we have been having the last few days, we decided to move Monday's co-op back to our favorite location at the creek. After all, children of the forest cannot catch cold. ;)

Since last week leftovers of the hurricane forced us to cancel co-op, we are only just now doing our Martinmas. Erin led the Circle and told the story of St. Martin, followed by our seasonal verses and songs. During our leaf movement verse, there was a gentle wind which blew down beech leaves all around us - it was amazing!

Lora taught us all a German lantern song - she did a great job and by the end of craft, most everyone knew it!

Here it is:

Laterne, Laterne,

Sonne, Mond und Sterne!

Brenne auf, mein Licht,brenne auf, mein Licht,

aber nur meine liebe Laterne nicht!

One of the children turned 8 last week, so we sang to him, had some delicious pumpkin cranberry bread, and gave him a few little gifts. We gave him some choice quartz, a wooden top (made by my dad) and a shell. He sweetly told Lela, "I love gems!" It just made heart melt!

There were also fun and games after Circle. The kids played Farmer in the Dell many times.

A great co-op, as usual! There was lots of momma-visiting, some knitting and even some cosmic communication. ;) Peace and Love to all my momma friends. :)

And more beautiful pictures on Erin's blog, Four Little Pixies.

Peace,
