Ms.Persaud’s Falcons

Earthy Echoes 🌎🌼🪵 My vision last year was to be a facilitator at this years #peeleyc I am so grateful to be given a space where I can share my knowledge about Nature as Universal Design & Inclusion of Abilities amongst other educators

Ways to Greet Nature by K2 Falcons: Good morning Sun☀️ Nihao Maple🍁 Salam friend Hi Bluejay Aaniin Acorn Vanakam Rainbow🌈 Bonjour Daisy Suprabhat Butterfly 🦋 Hello Rock 🪨

Spending time with puddle sparked our curiosity and imagination ‘I am fishing, I made a car that drives in the water, I’m gonna see if the leaf will float or sink’

We can find the colours of Fall 🍁🍂🌿

“Each heart represents the memory of a child lost to the residential school system, and the act of planting represents that individual’s commitment to finding their place in reconciliation.” 🧡 @FloradalePS #orangeshirtday #truthandreconciliation fncaringsociety.com/sites/default/…

We can identify leaves in our natural community 🌿🍁🍂

In Ojibwe our word for moccasin is maaksin (pronounced maak-sin). Also translates to shoe or footwear. @KyrieIrving rocking his maaksinan during @nba playoffs. Music by Eyabay.

On National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women we remember all of our stolen women, girls, 2-Spirit, and LGBTQIA+ relatives. The @peelschools #COY students at Maawnjiding Wiingushkeng created this #RedDress display to raise awareness.

We can learn about relationships & create a collaborative piece that reflects heart-work 🌼🐞 Falcons created plant relatives & pollinator friends out of paper clay ‘I’m humming to Black Eyed Susan, I’m singing her Nibi’s song’ We will add these plants in our garden next! 🪴🐜

We can engage with learning from nature in any space 🌿 We were amazed by the gifts we found by the front doors! ‘This is a rare rock!’ ‘An egg! This one is white and👀 another one! I think they came from 2 different birds’ ‘These rocks are all the same, maybe it’s a family’ 🥚🪨

4B Falcons wish everyone a Happy Earth Day 🌎

👥 A #student who is velcroed to a paraprofessional all day has not experienced inclusion. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Today, we hope you take some time outside to learn, play, explore, reflect, or rest. Here are just a small handful of the many benefits found after being immersed in the outdoors. What's your favourite side effect of stepping beyond four walls?

A new addition to the classroom library 🇬🇾📚

Sharing my learning about Mother Earth from Hopi & Josh inspired 4B to make Elderbeary cards to gift to them 🐻 (bracelets going to a Friendship Center) Giving gratitude for all the learning over the past 3 sessions of Listening to the Heartbeat of Doodoom Aki 🙏🏾🤎

After a long weekend this Falcon missed Cedar & greeted them first thing this morning ☺️ Cedar has given this Falcon a sensory rich experience through touch, sight & especially smell - they even expressed how ‘calm’ they feel after interacting

These Falcons enjoyed celebrating Phagwah (Holi) with each other ☺️ Ss shared their own traditions, those that were sacred & those that can be participated in with respect 🩵🩷💚❤️💙💛💜🧡 We joined in the coming of spring by sending wishes with gulaal

A huge thank you to my kindly friends for inviting me to join their provocations 💫♓️
