The earth is waking at the voice of May, The new grass brightens by the trodden way, The woods wave welcome to the sweet spring day, And the sea is growing summer blue. -Elizabeth Akers Allen (1832-1911) #poetry #trillium #Ontario #OEmemories #TOES_tdsb #experiential

Can you answer this riddle? My first is a verb; add to me one letter, and I become an insect; add another, and I become a kind of vegetable; add two more letters, and I become the name of another insect.

There are a lot of very important conversations happening right now. Here's some useful tips on how to have better ones. facebook.com/TED/videos/786…

Without pollinators, much of the food we eat and the natural habitats we enjoy would not exist. With >700 native species in Canada, #bees are the most common #pollinator. Native plants for pollinators: bit.ly/3fQVL5k #NationalPollinatorWeek #StepIntoNature #HealthyHikes

Did you know that a bee has about  170 odour receptors, which means they have a great sense of smell! They use this to communicate within the hive and to recognise different types of flowers when looking for food. - National Geographic Kids #NationalPollinatorWeek #TOES_tdsb

The full moon visible tonight is sometimes called the Corn Moon because of it's timing, which coincides with the corn harvest. It will be at it's peak at 1:23 am. This year, the harvest moon will fall in October, closer to the equinox. #farmtotable #EcoSchoolsTDSB #TOES_tdsb

A harvest Moon! And on the mats— Shadows of pine boughs. –Takarai Kikaku (1661–1707) (October has two full Moons this year: the Harvest Moon on October 1st and on Halloween!)

February 2nd, is also known in astronomy as a 'cross-quarter day. It occurs at the midpoint between a solstice and an equinox. Symbolically it is known as the point where light and life begin to take over from winter darkness.

February's full moon tonight has a connection to animals. The Cree traditionally called this the Eagle Moon. The Ojibwe and Tlingit, Bear Moon, which refers to the time when cubs are born. Some Algonquin peoples named it the Groundhog Moon, and the Haida named it Goose Moon.
