As part of Faculty Orientation, we take an Expedition Day to learn by doing, play, and connect. This year, we had a contra dancing workshop and Pad Thai cooking lesson. We contemplated the Integral model and our relationship with competence, confusion, and comfort zones. . . . #learnbydoing #workhardplayhard #teachersofinstagram #contradance #cooking #farmhouseliving #dance #padthai #contemplation #competence #expedition #lifelonglearning #teachers #ashevillenc #integraleducation #collaboration #beautifulviews #beautifulpeople
We begin every morning of Faculty Orientation with centering. This morning our PreK teachers led us through the sweetest activities - learning our letters through dance, practicing our unicorn breath, and listening to an original story (that will become a children’s book created by our teachers 🤩)... we were joined by this little special guest who’s counting down the days (okay, years) until he can join this classroom! . . . #prek #prekindergarten #asheville #ashevillenc #k12 #integraleducation #schooliscool #getcentered #findyourcenter #learntogether #playtogether #theletterh #littlechairs #weloveourteachers
