What if you let them or yourself become bored? There is an important gift in boredom. Once it is allowed to take hold, creativity and imagination begin to run like sap in the early spring and suddenly, the formerly bored child has built a castle out of cardboard and is happily making a costume to go with it.

This event is free and open to the public!

“We aim to teacher through genuine curiosity and awaken inspiration and critical thinking in ways that really make sense to the young child. Through this lens and other magical ways - we see children get so curious and excited for future learning. We live to let children be children. It really is such a flash of time with the most impact.”

At Minnesota Waldorf School, third grade isn’t just another academic year. It’s a transformational journey—both inward and outward. And we’re here to guide them, step by step, as they grow into the next version of themselves.
