Here's what we were up to with our Thursday Polliwogs last week: some show and tell to start us off... Quite a variety of interesting nature things! L brought in some toad tadpoles, and showed us the life cycle of a frog/toad. G and C brought in a wasp apartment building and a nest with a broken egg. And I brought Tikki Tikki Tembo, our pet hedgehog. Then we set off to plant some flower seeds for the butterflies to enjoy this summer. Giselle read us a story about how seeds are spread - there are so many ways! Birds, squirrels, the wind, even animals' poop! :)  Then we played The Seed Game and blew ourselves across the lawn on our way down to the pond. What could we see at the pond today?  Then we were off to play in our forest play area. Lots of bugs were flying around today, baking yummy things in our big kitchen.

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
