Here are some of the places I like to check when I am planning..,
First
I like to check out what Eugene Schwartz has to say about the lesson. I might also pop over to A Little Garden Flower and see what Melisa has to say. The last expert I like to check is Christopherus. I don’t necessarily buy anything– I just like to get a feel for what they have to say about the lesson.
Next
I like to check out the following free resources:
My library (put books on hold!)
I pop over to mainlesson.com to pick some stories.
The Online Waldorf Library always has some good stuff as well.
Homeschool Share has free printables, lapbooks, etc.
I look for inspiration in the Waldorf Teacher Gallery.
Finally
If I have a little money to spend I might go over to Currclick and see what they have:
I also have a few favorite blogs I like to check out for inspiration:
Faerie School archives
Our Little Nature Nest
The Parenting Passageway
Hawaii’ian Dreaming
Ancient Hearth
Schooling from the Heart
Mind you, these are just some online resources. I haven’t even begun to list all the print resources out there!
The first place I go is Marsha Johnson’s files on the waldorfhomeeducators yahoogroup. Then Our Little Nature Nest because I’m doing third grade next year and that’s the bulk of her blog.
