The Joy of Learning
4/20/2018
At first I thought I was crazy to have scheduled a field trip during the throws of auction prep. However, it ended up being the perfect breath of fresh air amongst a busy season - and a perfect reminder of why we are investing so much time and energy in the auction to begin with. Over and over, I heard, "Mrs. McCormick, you have to see this!" as students ushered me over to what they were exploring. I also heard eager cries of, "Come check this out!" as students shared their discoveries with each other. Sharing in the joy of discovery, exploration, and learning is something we have carefully cultivated all year. What a privilege it is to teach in an environment that builds on and encourages such sweet and genuine discovery of the joy of learning, exploring and adventure.
