RESOURCE TEACHER UPDATE Submitted by Tristen Happy Fall! Throughout the past month, I have been working on becoming familiar and settling into my new role as the Resource Teacher at CFLC. I’ve had the chance to participate in the infant, toddler, and preschool classroom, building trusting and supportive relationships with each child within each classroom. Participating in class activities in the preschool room, singing songs with the toddlers in the toddler room, and going on walks with the infant room children are just some of the activities that we have done. Although my role as changed, I am still excited that I have the opportunity to work with each student, more in-depth and in collaboration with the teachers and supervisors within the CFLC, as well as outside help such as from the Speech and Language Pathologist. I look forward to learning the role of Resource Teacher more as I go along,and look forward to working with everyone! Have a great rest of the season!

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS SITTING ON A GATE
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate The first one said, “Oh, my it’s getting late” The second one said, “There are witches in the air” The third one said, “But we don’t care” The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run” The fifth one said, “We’re ready for some fun” Then “Ooh” went the wind and out went the lights And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight Why don’t we do it again? You sing along with me this time Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate The first one said, “Oh, my it’s getting late” The second one said, “There are witches in the air” The third one said, “But we don’t care” The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run” And the fifth one said, “We’re ready for some fun” Then “Ooh” went the wind and out went the lights And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight

GREETINGS FROM THE HOME VISITING NURSE
Submitted by Jennifer Pelletier, Home Visiting Nurse Good day Biitigong Nishnaabeg Community Members,
My name is Jennifer Pelletier and I am the temporary Home Visiting Nurse. I am new to working in the community and new to the community itself.So far I have been able to participate in Moose camp, vaccine clinic and meeting new faces. My role at Biitigong Mno-Zhi-Yaaw-gamig is providing safe, efficient nursing care to the elderly and home care clients. I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse/Registered Practical Nurse since 2015. One of the main reasons behind becoming a nurse was mostly because my grandmother/grandfather were in and out of the hospital and I was able to see the care and respect that they were given from the nurses. I have experience in mostly Acute Care facilities; Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Gastro-Intestinal, Long-term care and Chronic Care. I am a First Nations Cree Aboriginal from Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan. I recently moved to Northern Ontario in 2020 and reside in Marathon with my family; My partner, Andrew, and our two young children, Emily (5) and Robert (1). The past two years have been quite busy with exploring and learning the area, getting to know new people, moving into our forever home and being parents to two very busy kids. If you see me out in the community, please introduce yourself, say a quick “hello” or feel free to stop by the clinic. Miigwech.
