I’ve been listening to some really wonderful (and free) telecasts related to homeschooling. Donna over at The Waldorf Connection has arranged for these free and informative sessions with people who have expertise in their specific topic areas.
The seminars are LIVE and interactive. You can join in by phone or via computer. And you can even ask on the spot questions. The sessions range in topic, and they can be replayed for 48 hours after the live session, in case you have missed it.
The one from last night was on foreign language teaching. Jennifer Tan from Syrendell delivered a wonderful 1 hour lecture and slide show offering tips to bring froeign language to your kids — and how to get started if you don’t already have a second language yourself. Totally worth the hour of my time.
We’ve been doing German with Emerson, since she was very little…songs and picture books. She loves the 2 German Muisic CDs we have: Alle Singen Mit! and Alle Voegel sind schon da…
Alphabet Garten is a wonderful place to purchase books and music, and everything I have bought to date, save one, has been perfect!
I recommend these Waldorf Connection telecasts. For more information head over to the website.
The schedule of remaining telecasts is as follows
2/11 Handwork
2/16 preschool aged kids
2/18 seasonal celebrations
2/23 and 25 2 night temperament intensive
Thank you for coming to the seminar! And, thank you for mentioning us on your amazing blog.
Can’t wait to hear more about how you incorporate foreign language in your home.
