Exploration and Discovery

The transition that SoulShine made this year was monumental, and our students have adapted to a brand new environment through exploration! I have watched them get comfortable with their new surroundings by poking, digging, climbing, swinging, looking, and (best of all) sharing their discoveries with enthusiasm and wonder. Sophia searches for rocks and crystals, Logan found a gorgeous butterfly wing, and Nathan and Aleks take a photo with a big green caterpillar. And though they may be tempted to bring home their new-found friends, Nathan always reminds our Soulshiner's that the natural habitat is the best place for those critters to thrive, so we gently return them to their homes to allow them to grow on their own. Who knows... perhaps we'll get a visit from an extra friendly butterfly, stopping by to show us how he has changed!
