Naturalist from Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory "Visits" Grade 1s
The Grade 1s had a wonderful visit with some interesting insects during a live virtual field trip to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory this week. The children went on a tour of the greenhouse and had an up close experience with fluttering butterflies and four different insect friends. Some of the insects they met were Jenny the Malaysian Jungle Nymph, Mr. and Ms. Madagascar Cockroach, Millie the Indonesian Millipede and camouflaging Owl Caterpillars.
The students loved being able to pose questions to Conservatory Manager & Naturalist, Andalyne Tofflemire, while seeing interesting insects from across the world up close!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
