Adjective and Adverb Review More Adjectives and Adverbs Lesson One: Math: Measurements: History of Measurements Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 19:32 Hello Earth Schoolers! In this lesson Teacher Amy will explain all about how measurements were used in history. We’ll look at units of measurement that are more common like inches, feet, and yards, and we’ll also learn about units of measurements that we may not have heard of before like hands, spans, paces, and cubits. Teacher Amy will take us all the way back to ancient times and show us how all of these measuring methods came to be, and how they were originally used before things became more standardized and consistent. Next, we will get out our main lesson books and draw the human body so we can label some of the different measurements we learned about. Measurements  Inches, feet, yards Hands, spans, paces, cubits Colored pencil drawing Human form drawing Member Feedback: “These facts about all the old measurements are so interesting. Explains why we have so many different ways to measure.” Lesson Two: Math: Measurements: Bird House Measurements Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 13:04 In this lesson Teacher Amy shows us how to plan and prepare to build a birdhouse using real accurate measurements. We’ll start with an image of the birdhouse we want to build and a wooden board, then we’ll consider how we could cut that board up to create the pieces that we need to make the birdhouse. We will practice using a ruler or yardstick to draw out our board, then we’ll get creative and try to figure out how we would make the pieces. This activity is meant to challenge our minds and help conceptualize the idea of finding the smaller pieces within the large one. At the very end of the video the accurate measurements are shown. Measurements Birdhouse Woodwork Blueprints Ruler and yardstick use Colored pencil drawing Member Feedback: “I like that this lesson gives students a chance to experiment with the measurements on their own without making them follow the exact dimensions at first. It gives everyone a chance to take their time understanding the material, and also encourages free creative fun!” Lesson Three: Math: Measurements: House Building: Bat House Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 34:13 In this lesson Teacher Amy shows us how to take a board and cut it up into the right shapes in order to assemble a bat house. Like previous lessons, we’ll start by drawing our board in our main lesson books, then we’ll look at how to cut out each piece into the correct sized pieces of wood. This time we’ll be focusing on accuracy of measurements and dimensions. If you would like to fully assemble your bat house you will need the following: an old piece of lumber, a handsaw, a hammer, spiral nails, and a drill. Measurements Bat House Woodwork Blueprints Ruler and yardstick use Colored pencil drawing Member Feedback: “Fun way to practice using measurements and create a cool bird/bat house.” Lesson Four: Math: Measurements: Create Your Own Measurements Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 17:04 Is this lesson we will be creating our own measurements using similar methods used in history. Teacher Amy will show us how to figure out our base measurement, and then we will go around our homes and measure various things. Depending on how big or small your base measurement is, you might get a bigger number when you measure items. Teacher Amy demonstrates different ways that we can use our unit of measurement and how we can use extra addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division steps to speed up the measuring process of larger items. We’ll end this lesson with a colored pencil drawing of our base unit of measurement, and a list of all the things we measured. Measurements  Creating our own measurements Addition and subtraction Multiplication and division Colored pencil drawing Member Feedback: “Such a fun lesson! And what an adorable unit of measurement: Mabel’s tail.” Lesson Five: Math: Measurements: Lesson E: Math: Geometry – Feeling Circles Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 14:03 Today, we’ll be learning about geometry and circles. To start, Teacher Amy will guide us in a physical movement activity to connect the concepts in our minds, to the body. After this, we’ll practice drawing circles using a few different techniques, and we will also experiment with creating patterns and mixing primary colors. Geometry Circles Movement activity Crayon drawing Color theory Member Feedback: “Nice incorporation of movement activity here!” Lesson Six: Math: Measurements: Lesson F: Math: Grids – Volume and Space Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 32:17 In this lesson we’ll be discussing squares and square roots with Teacher Amy and Assistant Mabel. Teacher Amy shows us how to square numbers using a large-scale grid. Next, we will practice drawing this grid in our main lesson books and we will color code it. Amy shows the whole step-by-step process for us to follow along with. Lastly, we will complete our chart by adding columns to help us remember different facts about each number squared. We are always free to decorate our main lesson book pages in any way we like. Squared numbers Grids and graphs Multiplication Colored pencil drawing Member Feedback: “Teacher Amy is so creative! The big square grid in this lesson was such a helpful visual.” Lesson Seven: Math: Long Division and Multiplication: Lesson A: Math and Multiplication Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 16:32 We’ll begin this lesson with a quick story that teaches us an imaginative way to think about bigger scale multiplication problems. Teacher Amy shows us each step to solving these larger math equations. After this, we will practice more multiplication problems with colorful pencils and crayons. Fairy story Multiplication Large number multiplication practice Member Feedback: “Teacher Amy has such a great vibe” Lesson Eight: Math: Long Division and Multiplication: Lesson B: Practice Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 28:56 These next few videos will be dedicated to some guided practice sessions for multiplication. We’ll start off by warming up our minds with a movement activity and verse. Next we will decorate our paper with colorful crayons and a form drawing. Once this is complete, we will begin our multiplication practice. Teacher Amy gives us equations to practice with and shows us each step in solving them. We are always encouraged to work with creativity and freedom. Multiplication practice Rhyming verse Movement activity Form drawings Crayon drawings Member Feedback: “I like how there are fun practice videos” Lesson Nine: Math: Long Division and Multiplication: Lesson C: Practice Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 23:56 In this lesson we will continue to practice large scale multiplication equations.

We’ll start this lesson with a quick review of the method we learned previously, then we will just jump right into the practice. Teacher Amy guides us through every step of the way! Long division practice Member Feedback: “Practice videos are a great addition” Lesson Thirteen: Math: Long Division and Multiplication: Lesson G: Practice Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 33:51 In this lesson we’ll be going over the step-by-step process of long division, and we’ll learn about remainders. We will do several practice problems together and of course Teacher Amy will guide us through each step. After this, we will decorate a main lesson book page so we may write down our long division steps. Long division practice Step-by-step process Remainders Colored pencil drawing Member Feedback: “The step-by-step process is very helpful” Lesson Fourteen: Math: Long Division and Multiplication: Lesson H: Practice Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 23:38 We’ll start by reviewing our six steps for long division. Then we’ll do many practice problems together. These equations will be bit more challenging than previous lessons, but we can do it! Long division practice Step-by-step process Remainders Member Feedback: “I like the way the multiplication and division lessons are broken down into bite sized pieces” Lesson Fifteen: Math: Money: Lesson A: Adding Coins Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 54:44 In this lesson we’ll be learning about money, and more specifically adding coins. We’ll look at coins from multiple different countries and analyze them front to back so we can discuss what their symbols mean. Next, we will learn about the value of different kinds of coins, and we will practice adding them together to create larger dollar amounts. After this we decorate our main lesson book and write down what we learned today and do some additional practice. Money math Adding coins Canadian coins Irish coins American coins Member Feedback: “The order Teacher Amy chooses to do things is very effective. She starts by just introducing the concepts, then we do practice together, and THEN students are encouraged to take notes in their main notebooks after they’ve had a chance to really understand what they’ll be writing down.” Lesson Sixteen: Math: Money: Lesson B: Adding and Subtracting Currency Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 31:36 Today we’re going to talk about how many coins of each kind it takes to make one dollar. We’ll look at quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies and we will create many combinations of these coins together to create that one dollar. Next we will create a main lesson book page to remind us how many of each individual coin it takes to create a dollar all on their own. We will decorate our main lesson book page and then go through each kind of American coin and take note of how many of just that one kind of coin it would take to create one dollar. Lastly, we’ll do some addition and subtraction problems using decimals and money concepts. Addition and subtraction Money math Adding currency Quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies Colored pencil drawing Decimals Member Feedback: “Always great visuals in the main lesson book drawings” Lesson Seventeen: Math: Money: Lesson C: Estimating Teacher: Amy Williams Length: 33:53 In this lesson we will learn about estimating with money and coins.

Theme: Self and Others – Where Do I Belong? Cultivate Confidence and Security By the third grade, children are beginning to comprehend the difference between self and other and wonder where in the scheme of things they belong. To fortify their growing personal identity, they read creation and origin stories (teacher can choose one or more from: Aboriginal, African, European, Asian, etc.) Around the age of nine comes a very important psychological change. The child has a stronger experience of its own individuality or identity (ego) and therefore begins to question adult authority. it may feel isolated from family and friends and therefore need more sympathy and firmness from teachers and parents. Again, the subjects given to Class Three are carefully chosen and timed to relate to this inner psychological change. The origin and creation stories give the nine-year-old an inner picture of the vastness of the world and the wonders it holds. In handwork the children crochet a hat, a visible form of something protecting them. In the main lesson they learn about occupations such as house building, farming and traditional crafts. How do farmers provide our food. Unforgettable is an early morning visit to a cowshed with its characteristic sounds and smells, seeing the cows milked, feeling their warm breath, tasting the fresh milk! Farming, housing, building, measurement, and mastery of the multiplication tables and four arithmetic processes provide a practical foundation for scientific study and help ground the children. They go away together to spend a week on a farm. The study of grammar helps them to develop rational thinking. Each child takes up a stringed instrument: violin, viola or cello.

(Looking for options without all the living lessons?) Third Grade Core Bundle: HERE Third Grade Curriculum Package: HERE What are Living Lessons? Students can use these full lessons by watching each video themselves. Students can be taught by a Waldorf teacher using these Living Lessons. However, we also feel it is important that the parent/teacher remains involved in the lessons to stay true to the Waldorf methods. So Living Lessons can also be used as a classroom assistant for you and a way for you to become a better teacher by having another teacher lead, guide, and inspire you. Either way you use them – your student will greatly benefit from these full lessons taught by a Waldorf teacher! Here are some ways in which you may use the Living Lessons: 1. You are homeschooling multiple ages and need a virtual teacher now and then so you can offer each of your students individual attention. 2. You are looking for a virtual classroom experience with a Waldorf teacher. 3. You need a break now and then from homeschooling full time. 4. You want to enhance your own skill set by watching other teachers present Waldorf lessons. 5. You want to join a community of other parents experiencing Living Lessons with opportunities for your kids to connect with other kids in the program. 6. You are running a business or working from home and need a virtual teacher to help you homeschool. 7. You recently moved or are experiencing health challenges that make it hard to homeschool full time. 8. You are new to homeschooling and need a boost of confidence to start off your year. 9. You are new to Waldorf education. 10. You feel overwhelmed with the prospect of homeschooling or you have been forced into homeschooling and are feeling lost. *You own this program for life once you purchase it.
