Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.

Deep breaths, imagining blowing out rainbow colored bubbles as a cute little fish. 🫧🐠🫧 Our new favorite “bubble meditation” is so relaxing.
Games are so special! We learn so much more than waiting our turn. The connections built while playing strengthen friendships. We also learn resilience when we draw a card and get sent to a new place across the board. It’s lovely to see children encourage and support friends as they experience emotions through game play as well. ❤️
