nature walk. Her knowledge as a M\u00e9tis herbalist was astounding and I learned so much about M\u00e9tis culture and the land on which I live within just a few acres! \n\nThe afternoon I spent with her really broadened my understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing and really strengthened my relationship with nature and Mother Earth. I cannot wait to book another walk with her in the spring!\u201c\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Kathleen Wells - Teacher, Calgary Board of Education<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201d I had the pleasure of working with Kalyn in the spring of 2021 when she led three separate excursions to the Weaselhead Natural Area with three groups of online learners that I was teaching through Connect Charter School. \n\nHer wisdom and expertise in identifying, explaining the use of, and including students in the discovery of native plants in this area was incredible.\n\nI would highly recommend having Kalyn work with your students. She was able to bring in curricular outcomes and reinforce the importance of working with plants, using them for medicine and healing alongside showing respect and care for the land. \u201c\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Erin Piper - Teacher, Connect Charter School<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201d I am glad to have participated in a plant walk with Kalyn and my students in grades 4, 5, 6 and 7. She was professional, quick to respond, and adapted to the different curriculum requirements of the younger and older students. Students were encouraged to participate with Kalyn, each other, and with their environment in new ways, and they were excited to share their learning after the experience.\n\nThe foundations of M\u00e9tis culture, plant knowledge, and place-based learning in Kalyn\u2019s sessions connected nicely to Science, ELA, and Social Studies outcomes.
