Guest Author Visits Junior School
Excitement filled the air as children's author, Catherine Nevin-Pike, arrived to visit our Junior & Senior Kindergarten students last week to share her new book, Snowy Prints. In the story, a child and his mother go for a snowy adventure walk, prompting our students to have fun predicting what kind of animal made each set of tracks they encountered along the way.
The charming story that features all kinds of interesting animal tracks inspired our students to make some prints of their own! Students were all smiles as they added their own painted handprints to class murals and were also challenged to match up various Canadian forest creatures with their corresponding footprints.
A special thanks to JK teacher Mrs. Ahamed, for connecting us all with this wonderful author who shares our love of reading and exploring nature at CDS!
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.
