Zen in the Classroom

[Sara Newman]

Hi Kurt, 

I'm so glad that you brought up the different ways that zen can manifest! I know that one of the teachers at my old school used to have a bonsai tree and practice mediation with his students after nutrition. At first they thought it was kind of weird, but over time they grew to really look forward to it. Are there ways that you think you can infuse your apprecation for zen into either your classroom decor or your classroom routines/practices?
