A yoga practice can improve flexibility, strength, mental health and stress relief. Learning the basics when children are young may provide lifelong benefits. This is a 4th gr PE class @DurhamAcademy. #moralhappyproductive

It’s a fun Friday lunch for 3rd and 4th graders @DurhamAcademy as we head into a long weekend. Happy Labor Day!

These 3rd graders @DurhamAcademy record what they “notice” and “wonder” about the books they will be reading together over the next several weeks. This pre-work builds curiosity, engagement and collaboration. #moralhappyprodutive

Our US students @DurhamAcademy rock! A few shared at a recent assembly about everything from Eid to Sustainability to the Solar Eclipse. Their presentations were poignant, creative, fun and informative. I hope teaching is in their future. They knew exactly how to reach our kids!
