Title: Outstanding Waldorf education, home schooling resource
Review: This book needs tags: Waldorf education, Waldorf methods, Waldorf science elementary, Waldorf nature storiesA classic of children's science teaching published in 1882 apparently. On a very cursory first glance in Google books, Buckley voices the exact tone desirable in Waldorf education; that is, an imaginative approach to science facts, based in reality but cognizant of etheric, fairy and spiritual forces. In a phrase we call this "making science come alive."Whole-child method elementary teachers who do all their lower elementary science teaching thru storytelling, will appreciate this. Sadly this child-friendly "voice" in the field of science was extinguished in the U.S. after about 1975.This book may be a valuable science reader book for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade children who enjoy science.
