Interesting thoughts!! I only sang or used a melodic song like voice in first grade. I sang a lot in second but used a normal voice. I loved my students and they knew it. I still laid down healthy boundaries which I think are so important……. for children to feel safe.

I used the Virtues Project and speaking the Language of the Virtues for acknowledging children and for setting healthy boundaries.
Sometimes you just have to stop behaviors if they are harmful to others. To me it’s just common sense and nothing to be ashamed of or feel like it’s outside the Norm in Waldorf Schools. Kudos to you for being proactive and “reading your students and the situation.
This is all part of the Art of Teaching…. reading each and every situation and creative moment that you are in. These are the imponderables which make us Waldorf teachers!!

All The Best,
Janis Williams
Pedagogical Director
Sanderling Waldorf school
