Our third year class 🪶

They’re challenging you to slow down and notice what’s beneath your feet… what’s laying on the ground around you?

There’s stories, teachings, and language in even the smallest things 🍂

Take a moment to look down, observe, and try to name what you see in the language.

Let us know what you find 👀✨
