We are off tomorrow, so no official #forestfriday...here are some shots from last week's trip, also related to the 6/7th grade Age of Exploration/South American Geography block, including of course, conquistador Desoto, who landed locally to us in La Florida.🌴

It's back to coastal breeze and water filled forest fridays now that we are in first summer.😅☀️ A glorious day immersed in nature, all ages - tree climbing, tool fashioning, snake and crab catching...a lovely way to end the week. 💗🌳

What an incredible gift to our students - our 6/7th graders experienced Luzia, a @cirquedusoleil spectacular! What an impression to make, especially at this age, to witness the artistry, creativity, focus, courage, and teamwork. 💗Thank you so much to Marta Justin, KP, Ben, Aleks, and of course Ms Jessica for making this happen!!! 😍

Gong meditation warm up.😍
Thank you Joy for coming to share your special gift with our students. During our morning ritual of centering and setting intention, our students gave and received a beautiful offering of peace, calm, and harmony. What a way to begin our week!!💗💗
At our school, emotional health and wellness is emphasized above all else in everything we do (or choose not to do!); it is the core of our mission, to guide students towards loving themselves, loving their neighbors, and feeling connected to the world around them.🌎✌
