Take a peek at what we were up to this week at Breithaupt Park and Huron Natural Area.  isn't it beautiful! A robin's egg that was found on the path. We put on blindfolds and used our sense of touch to get to the know the trees near the meadow:  Our Breithaupt preschool group set up a small tent, then found some mourning cloak butterflies to chase: Can you find the mourning cloak butterfly hidden in the photo below? Here's a clue: it's not in the middle of the picture. Here's another clue: it's not the whole butterfly.  Our Girls in Nature group did some initiative tasks - first in partners, then as a group. Then we headed out into the woods to collect ingredients for our potions and tea mixes. Some photos from our Caregiver/Kid hike at Huron Natural Area: The adventures continued with our Huron preschool group that afternoon: Our Nature Explorer group worked more on decorating our fort and crafts. We worked on tying knots with our glow in the dark rope. The fort is now equipped with several styles of doorbells, a front and back entrance, and welcoming signs.

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.
