In this episode we discuss the importance of encouraging the creative abilities in our students.  Whether remote or in person, it's important to remember that allowing for creativity is crucial for not only our students, but for teachers as well.  To that end, we hear from Mari Beth LaRose, Art Teacher at Kitty Hawk Elementary in Dare County as she tells us about some of the activities she uses with her students to push them creatively.  We also speak with Kristen Springle, Art Teacher at Beaufort Middle School in Cartaret County.  She shares an amazing project she did with her students and how she incorporates mindfulness strategies to help them lower stress and encourage their creativity.
