Outdoor Retreat

The Upper Elementary Class just returned from their annual outdoor retreat. The weather was spectacular and everyone had an amazing time.
Pebble, Diamond, Pig, Platypus, Sand Storm, Ladybug, Spider, Fox, Red Robin, Forest, Spring and their teacher, Sparrow, spent the entire time outdoors, exploring beautiful Hockley Valley.
Every person who participated in the retreat was transformed - the over stimulated, digitally connected city kids discovered the freedom of being outdoors, getting dirty and bonding with each other. The exhausted teacher was able to enjoy her students and connect with them on another level.
It was truly magical and I hope that the feeling will stay with us as we head into the final stretch of the school year.
