We ask students to collect some items in nature while out for a walk. These could be a twig, a feather or a leaf found on the ground that makes them think about their connection to the Land. These items will be used later on to make a project in connection to our Indigenous  learning.  If you have an artifact at home that is meaningful to you in relation to your connection to Calgary or another place , please take a picture of it and send me an email.
