![Picture](/uploads/5/4/0/8/54081033/published/feb-13-1.png?1647184912)
February 13 we had a meeting with our friends to talk about new learning and grant a project to plant trees here at St. Joseph's and in Cameroon. We will plant cedar, sage and sweet grass at our new proposed outdoor classroom site and our friends will plant mango and plum trees. They want to plant trees that not only help the environment but provide food for people living near by.
Thank you to Rianna, Henry, and Elizabeth Maurice and all our friends for joining. We heard a great presentation from Cristy and her work and winning project on reinventing plastic.

Land Acknowledgement
At the beginning of each class one classmate will lead in our morning prayer and read the land acknowledgement posted below.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to our First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
We offer our hearts and promise to respectfully acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishhinaabeg of Canada. We promise to the First Nations communities that we will take care and protect the land, the lakes and rivers and everything on it including all living things. We must always keep in our hearts and minds that we need to respect and honour these teachings.

What is a Land Acknowledgement?
A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement that recognizes the relationship and territory of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. The statement consists of acknowledging the original inhabitants by mentioning Treaty Rights and/or the colonization process to provide an understanding of positive relationship by acknowledging the land and its Original Peoples. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation.

Student Shout Outs
![Picture](/uploads/5/4/0/8/54081033/published/garbage.png?1634992645)
On Wednesday Oct 23 we had Michelle from the Toronto Zoo visit our class virtually. She did a presentation on the Great Lakes Watershed (learning on this topic was done before she came). Michelle talked about the children's footprint, the value of the water to survival, the importance of this fresh water source and how it can be preserved. These boys decided to take action and I couldn't have been more proud of them. They decided to start by cleaning up the garbage in the yard so that it would not end up in Lake Ontario and other bodies of water. This is their second bag. Next week they will tackle Chris Garret Park.
A big shout out goes out to Miles, Zain, Ryker, Zach and Danny.
