Today is the last day of STEAM in the Park at the Great Smoky Mountains! I can not express how much this experience has renewed my soul! visiting Cades Cove and the Primitive Baptist Church was the highlight! #STEAMinthePark
Said goodbye to this cutie as I prepared to attend an amazing week in the Great Smoky Mountains. #STEAMinthePark is an amazing opportunity to connect with likeminded educators to learn about ways to bring nature into our classrooms & to reignite our passion for teaching!

From sunrise to sunset, our day of learning and making connections has been fantastic! #STEAMinthePark
Wrapped up the morning session w/ Nature Journaling. Reminded me I should slow down & explore my surroundings when in nature. I tend to worry more about the destination & miss out on so much beauty. Saw River Otters!!!
