We love you! 🤗 This message from our kindergarten teacher inspired a spontaneous tv hug from one of her students. We’re so glad her mom captured this moment to share. 🥰 We hope you can hug the ones you love - virtually or in quarantine together - and share the joy this weekend while staying home and staying healthy. ☀️ #stayhealthy #stayhome #virtualhug #virtuallearning #kindergarten #k12 #asheville #integraleducation #holisticeducation #emotionalliteracy #teachersofinstagram #remotelearning #remoteodyssey #onlineodyssey #odysseyspirit #happyfriday #lifeinthetimeofcorona
Today, high school math teacher @little.yost led us in our first remote meeting Best Practice presentation!

Today, our 7th grade language arts class hosted three real live “Atticus” lawyers who work or have worked in the criminal justice system around the country. We used Zoom to have a panel discussion about the discrimination present in today’s world, the glimmers of hope or “baby steps” (as Miss Maudie would say) of progress, and the ways culture, institutions, and individuals interact to create just or unjust outcomes. Big thanks to our panelists with big hearts 👩🏻💻👩🏼💻👨🏻💻(@alrollins000 / Dennis, @hillsmissme, Allison) for helping us better understand our world and our reading of #tokillamockingbird ❤️ #seventhgrade #languagearts #integraleducation #remotelearning #remoteodyssey #onlineodyssey #lawyersofinstagram #socialjustice while #socialdistancing

This remote hip hop dance lesson video intro from @therealaquaboogy is so sweet. We are loving all the ways our community is staying connected; the way our teachers are keeping students engaged, moving, and creative; the way parents are supporting their kids and cheering on our teachers; and all while we’re figuring out how to live in this new world order and breathe through the weight of change. 💃🏻 Don’t forget to dance. #dance #dancersofinstagram #hiphop #middleschool #k12 #remotelearning #himom #lifeinthetimeofcorona #integraleducation #creative #collaborative #learningcommunity #asheville #ashevillenc #remoteodyssey #onlineodyssey

Those are three hilariously befuddled faces. We’re doing a lot of planning and tech tool training today to prepare for our first day of remote classes tomorrow! 💻😷 We are so grateful for resilient, brilliant faculty who pivoted on a dime and did lightening fast research; grateful for an understanding and supportive parent community; and can’t wait to see our students’ faces again tomorrow when we launch! 🚀 Let’s do this thing! #teachersofinstagram #zoom #remotelearning #remotework #technology #coronaschool #asheville #ashevillenc #k12 @thatsxelantscience #remoteodyssey #onlineodyssey

Our kindergarten students shared their independent research projects today! From knucker dragons (who, I learned, are only somewhat ferocious) to robots, students shared their passions and hard won knowledge with big kids, parents, and faculty, completing their hero’s journey in academic inquiry. 🐉 🤖 #kindergarten #dontunderestimateme #herosjourney #research #individuality #dragons #dragoneggs #integraleducation #creative #independent #projectbasedlearning #k12 #ashevillenc #asheville
