"Our family has been homeschooling with Waldorf for many years and I have tried many different variations for planning. The Planning for Peace Journal has everything in one spot, with great spaces for writing and organizing my ideas. I love the sections for inner work and evaluations! I refer to my plans in the journal daily and look forward to using it again with two high school students and one middle school student!" ~ Lara Munro "I've taken on more of our school days and the Planning for Peace journal helps keep me on track. The journal Melisa created gives me a clear picture of where we've been, where we are at and where we are going. I'd be lost without it." ~ Erik Nielsen​​​​ "I’m sure you hear this all the time, but your planner has literally changed my entire homeschool life. This past year we went through major home construction and although we had to sacrifice some parts of our typical Waldorf homeschool, our main lessons stayed intact and we have been caught up all year. Because of your planner I enjoy and LOOK FORWARD to planning with you every year. I already loved your curriculum, but I really think your homeschool planner needs to be in the hands of every single homeschool mom or dad." ~ Jenn M. Teachers Plan. That's the bold truth. If you are a teacher, OWN IT. Ask yourself...is my level of planning and prep what I'd like someone to have if they were teaching my child? Or would you expect more? Would you like that teacher to have crammed a few weeks before school started or would you hope they took the time thinking about their students and planning out lessons? Now...are you ready to truly OWN being a teacher? If you want people to take you seriously then you have to OWN the part. https://www.waldorfessentials.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/waldorf_essentials/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WaldorfEssentials/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/waldorfessentials/_created/Twitter: https://twitter.com/WaldorfMelisa

"There are so many homeschooling programs on the market today! Every website recommends its favorite. So, how do you know a top-rated popular homeschool curriculum when you see it? Sometimes a recommendation from a friend is helpful, but their experience with a curriculum might be narrow. You can also look at websites that tell you what curricula they think are best. But, I think a more accurate way to check out the top homeschooling curriculum programs today is to look at their search volume. It’s not fool-proof, but it gives you an idea of what’s out there. I do this by listing the most googled curriculum terms and then recording the search volume in America per month. Then, if relevant, I’ve added the second most relevant googled term related to home education programs in brackets." Because America has the highest number of homeschoolers, we use American statistics. However, readers should be aware that different countries favor different homeschooling curricula in differing volumes.Learn more at https://www.waldorfessentials.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/waldorf_essentials/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WaldorfEssentials/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/waldorfessentials/_created/Twitter: https://twitter.com/WaldorfMelisa
