We began homeschooling over 10 years ago, when my oldest daughter, now 16, started Kindergarten. The first year, I used simple library books and workbooks that she enjoyed. By the time the next year came, I had done massive research and had purchased an Oak Meadow curriculum, on the advice in a book by a Christian woman who wasn't pleased with its overt pantheism...that critique sold me!! Erika enjoyed that year, and the next three, immensely. She then decided to go to public school for Fifth grade, and did quite well. She is very social, and is naturally intune with the particular learning style of the public schools.
I now have two sons that homeschool. They are 13 and 8. My two-year-old hangs around us, playing on his own or with the two little daycare boys I have daily. I decided to make a page of links and info that have helped our family. We find the Waldorf inspired daily rhythms and learning styles fit perfectly with our religion, Paganism, and the Wheel of the Year, or nature holidays that we celebrate. Many of the links and information presented are with that particular bias, since it is simply what I know and how we do things.
A mailing list especially for Waldorf Education Homeschoolers began about 8 months ago. If you are interested in this high volume, very interesting and helpful list, register at http://www.onelist.com/community/WE_HS
