Today we had our first Taylor Talk of the year! I joined grade 1 classes at Lambton Kent DSB and @SCCDSB to talk about the important environmental lessons we learned from Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax". @SEPSciCen

In October, I did a waste audit at Rosedale Public School with the Grade 7 classes. We sorted through the previous day's garbage to see what should have been recycled instead. Very eye opening for the students! The biggest culprit was juice boxes - these can be recycled! Lambton Kent DSB

Today's "Taylor Talk" taught the grade 2 classes at Lambton Kent DSB and @SCCDSB why plants, animals, and insects are so important, and what we can do to protect their environment and keep them healthy. We had some great questions from our young scientists! The future is bright! @SEPSciCen

This morning, Kindergarten classes from Lambton Kent DSB and @SCCDSB will be learning about all the ways we can save the world in our everyday lives. Every action matters, and it's up to all of us to do our part to protect our planet. @SEPSciCen

Working on the next Taylor Talk presentation and reflecting on how lucky we are to have such an abundant Earth. We must protect it so it stays that way.

This morning’s Taylor Talk brought some cool recycling facts to our Grade 3 students. We had some awesome engagement - our kids care! @SEPSciCen LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB

Today’s Taylor Talk was all about composting! Food waste - who needs it? @SEPSciCen LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB

Yesterday, we had our first Green Team meeting! Staff, students, and executives from both @SCCDSB and Lambton Kent DSB came together with the goal of improving the environmental performance of our schools. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them! lkdsb.net/Pages/newsitem…

Today’s Taylor Talk was all about drinking water - where it comes from, how we make it safe to drink, and what we can do to conserve and protect our water supply. @SEPSciCen LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB

April is Earth Month! Yesterday’s Taylor Talk was all about Earth Day and how we can all do our part to protect the 🌎. I challenged Grade 6 students to pledge to do one thing differently in their lives to help the environment. Together, we can make a difference!

Today I had the honour of speaking to BDHS staff and students about the history and importance of Earth Day. It felt good (and weird!) to be able to present in person again! Blenheim Bobcats Lambton Kent DSB

Happy Earth Day!! What are you doing to celebrate?

For Earth Day, I joined students from BDHS in collecting 20 bags of litter from around the community. My co-op student Drew organized the event, and I’m so proud! Way to go, Blenheim Bobcats!! Lambton Kent DSB

Today’s Taylor Talk brought concepts of renewable energy to our Grade 5 students. They had some amazing questions at the end - very impressive! Excited to hear how the Renew-A-Bead activity goes! LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB @SEPSciCen

Today’s Taylor Talk touched on the topic of climate change: what’s causing it, and what can we do to stop it? Knowing what it is and how we can help is an important first step for our students. @SEPSciCen LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB

I’m incredibly inspired by all of the cool environmental projects taking place at Alexander MacKenzie Secondary School. What a fantastic opportunity for our students. Horticulture, beekeeping, vermicomposting, farm to table cooking… Incredible! Lambton Kent DSB

We’re back with our first Taylor Talk of the school year! I spoke with our Grade 1 students about environmental protection and the important lessons we learned from The Lorax. A healthy environment is our most valuable asset. @SEPSciCen LKDSB Elem Program @SCCDSB

October 17-23 is Waste Reduction Week! At the CLASS office, we have a FoodCycler that turns our food waste into compost for our plants! We fill one bucket a day with coffee grinds, banana peels, apple cores, etc., and turn it into dirt! No food waste to landfill here :)

This week’s Taylor Talk was all about food waste and composting. Our grade 4 students will be making ziploc bag composters to watch their food waste break down into fertilizer. There were a lot of great questions from our curious scientists! @SEPSciCen @SCCDSB LKDSB Elem Program
