Living on the Earth By Kathleen taylor, gr. 3 teacher

“the roof must be very tall, because that is where the gods live,” said a third grader in a recent report on a model house project.

the third grade has been discovering that houses can mean so much more than shelter. We began our block realizing that our first house is our very own body that houses our very selves. then we remembered that feeling one gets after arriv-ing home from a long trip- that special feeling that we only get in our home. From there we took off around the world, learning about houses from many different climates and cultures and how each so perfectly reflects the place and the people who build it.

We drew and painted houses from West africa, turkey, new Mexico, the nW coast, alaska, and thailand. We built Mongolian yurts with pop-

sicle sticks and felt. each student chose a house, read about it and created a model to bring in to school. they shared these models and their discoveries with our class and others. We came back home to figure out how to draw a plan of the house we live in.

our next step was to build a shelter ourselves. With the help of wonderful parents, we went up to Mount hood and built an igloo! What a wonder that it worked, and we could actually go inside. our final trip was to a construction site. We are lucky in that one of our classmates’ family is building a new house. they invited us to the site for a tour and even the chance to mix cement.

house building fits into the third grade focus of living on the earth. We will study food, clothing (cont on page 3)

Welcome Addition in our School’s Leadership

and shelter this year. What an empowering thing to know the basics of how to care for oneself on the earth. it is also our first geography block. We marveled at how no matter where one lives and what materials are available, people have ingeniously figured out how to build shelters that meet their needs.

learning about houses is also a way to value the work of others. Just naming all those whose work went into creating the houses we live in makes them seem that much more amazing. learning about the contributions of people to our lives- how so much work goes into creating the things we need every day-cultivates appreciation and gratitude. and, oh what fun!

We are no longer pioneering a Waldorf school now,

where we need to develop our policies and search

for trained Waldorf teachers capable of implement-

ing the educational philosophy that permeates the

education in a young school. We also are no longer

working to find a basic governance structure that

supports the framework for a young school. so it was

recognized over three years ago that our governance

model needed an overhaul to accommodate what we

have become, a Waldorf school with vibrant early

childhood programs, grades classes and high school

programs. Many hours and a lot of discussion went

into creating a completely new system, one that we

believe will support our school more fully. the newly

conceived framework for school governance includes

a school chair responsible to the Board of trustees

and a Pedagogical chair responsible to the college of

teachers. in all respects, this new plan is brilliant and

will serve the needs of the school well into the future.

then, last school year (2011-12) it was decided the

funding was not available to fully staff the new

model, so we began with diane rowley making the

transition from college chair to school chair only to

leave and be replaced by christine Wolf in March of

2012. Francine adams came on board in the fall of

last year as a quarter-time Pedagogical

chairperson with tremendous support from the high

school council and the early childhood and grades

section leadership.

now we can fast forward one year later to the

announcement that the Pedagogical chair is set to

transition to full time in July of 2013 with our own

Kelly o’halogan stepping in to take on the position.

Kelly o’halogan brings many years of experience to

this leadership role. Kelly received her Bachelor of

arts from the University of oregon and a Master of

education in Waldorf education from the University

of new york at sunbridge college. in addition to

serving as a class teacher at PWs, she has taken a full

class from first to eighth grade at the Waldorf school

An Evening of Poetry in addition to senior Project Presentations

(March) and the senior play (coming in June), the

annual senior Poetry night arrives each spring.

each senior choses poetry that speaks to him/

her and works with it until able to present it

with conviction to the community. the variety of

material chosen is always broad and surprising,

the delivery impressive, making for a startling

and dramatic evening. like the senior Projects,

this event showcases talents of the students as

individuals, but it does more than that. students

in this education are trained from their earliest

years to have the courage of their convictions and

be comfortable in performance, skills that stand

them in good stead as they graduate out into the

world of higher education and of work. Poetry

night displays this aspect of their training as well

as their individual talents. Join us! all welcome.

It was with great excitement that the College of

Teachers made the recent announcement that Lisa

Harrison will be next year’s first grade teacher. Now,

who you might ask yourself is Lisa Harrison, and

why would her hire be a cause for excitement? What

better way to sing her praises than in PWS monthly

newsletter?

Lisa has been in our midst with her wonderful family,

husband John, daughter Samantha in 6th grade,

Jasper in 3rd grade, since 2003. Over the years,

she has volunteered in support of the school in

many wonderful ways such as coordinating the May

Faire, the third grade Harvest Festival, and working

on many projects for the school auction. With her

background in education long before she became a

mother, Lisa understands, only too well, where the

teachers could use her support. More recently, with

budget cuts in some areas of the school, Lisa

volunteered as the Grades Assistant spending much

of her time with Ms. Berg and Mr. Conlon in their first

grade classrooms. She has covered in the Aftercare

so Mr. Forster could attend the Thursday Faculty and

College of Teacher meetings and has also been a

reliable substitute teacher for the grade school when

and where she was needed.

Lisa brings a deep dedication to children, education

and a wonder of the developing human being. She

has her BA in Elementary Education from Whitworth

University in Washington State. After completing

her studies, she spent time as a Pre-Kindergarten

and Special Education Teacher, and as a Montessori

Kindergarten teacher. Last spring when the Micha-el

School lost their first grade teacher mid-year, Lisa

was hired as an interim first grade teacher. She very

successfully held the class together, gave them the

experience of a class play and carried them to the

completion of their first grade year. Lisa has found

the time to complete her Foundation Studies at the

Micha-el Institute and will be completing her Wal-

dorf Teacher Training there this spring.

Please join in celebrating the wonderful addition of

Lisa Harrison to our teaching faculty and the first

grade class of 2025 students and families.

school community cordially invites students, parents,

friends and neighbors to join us at the 2013 May

revelers can enjoy live music, dancing, games, hand-

made goods and tasty food and treats.

The second grade and parent council invites all

members of our school to play a part in the festivi-

ties. From setting up tables to making signs, we

have many small jobs that with your help will make

putting on the festival simple, fun, and a real coming

together of community. In addition to overseeing the

event, different grades will be participating with fun

filled activities and booths – from the boat races, to

fishing for felted sea creatures, to fairy ring making,

to hair braiding and much more!

In addition, the Spring Creek Store will be open from

11 to noon and 1 to 3 pm with bargains on many Wal-

dorf inspired items.

Above all, May Faire is a special time to come to-

gether and affirm our community spirit and ethic of

mutual support. If you would like to contribute your

time please drop by the bulletin board in the hallway

by the main entrance of the school for details about

the different volunteer opportunities available. Our

of santa Barbara. she was also a class teacher at

the sebastopol independent charter school. since

1998, she has had the opportunity of serving as a

Faculty chairperson and curriculum coordinator as

well as serving on a variety of committees at one of

those schools including finance, personnel, teacher

search and Board of trustees. Kelly is a member of

the college of teachers at PWs and is leading the

current eighth grade class of 2017 toward their

rapidly approaching promotion to high school.

Walking down the halls of the lower school in mid-January, one may

have heard the clicking of knitting needles and the soft hum of joyful

productivity. For 30 minutes a day for a week, the students of the

grades school participated in the annual Knit-a-thon where they

lovingly knit strips of vibrant colored wool to be sewn into blankets.

With baskets of knitted strips at their fingertips, 6th graders and their

parents helped to creatively construct the blankets as their way of

giving back to the local community and to needy recipients abroad.

this year’s efforts created four stunning afghans.

on March 15, the first blanket was presented to Florence, a long time

resident at rose villa retirement community in Milwaukie. Florence has a deep passion for sewing and

handwork and was named the volunteer of the year last year for her efforts in re-enlivening the arts pro-

gram at rose villa. Members of the 6th grade, Ms. Munske and Ms. Mariama were on hand to present the

blanket to Florence who was deeply moved and grateful to the students at PWs for their one-of-a-kind

gift. a second blanket will be used in rose villa’s upcoming auction to help raise money for their health

center.

after many years of sharing her gifts with the chil-

dren and community of Portland Waldorf school,

cheri Munske has decided to leave her position as

the handwork teacher for grades one through five

in order to focus more on her other life work.

Mrs. Munske first joined our faculty in the year

2000 after many years of teaching handwork at the

Waldorf school in atlanta georgia. With her hus-

band Martin and two children Julien and Maika she

moved all the way across the country to start a new

chapter of her life here in Portland.

Both of the Munske children are alumni of Portland

Waldorf high school. Martin Munske has estab-

lished a thriving practice as a general contractor

and fine craftsman. cheri has taught handwork

at PWs and at the village school. she has taught

adults through the Micha-el institute teacher train-

ing and mentored numerous teachers and assis-

tants along the way all while deepening her work

in the art of Marionette Puppetry as well as paint-

ing. cheri is active in the anthroposophic society

and a contributor to that work worldwide as well

as locally. she has volunteered for many years at

the dougy center working with grieving children

and families. cheri completed art therapy train-

ing at the tobias school in the UK and has been

growing an art therapy practice here in Portland.

While she will be missed, we know that she will

have greater flexibility and forces to devote to the

important work ahead of her. For all of the children

who learned to knit under your guidance, all the

lambs and gnomes and finished pairs of socks... for

all of the reverence in the classroom, for the color-

ful feast to the eyes in the display case we all say

"Goodbye and Thank you Mrs. Munske".
