In Winter 2022, I was a Pre-Intern in a Grade 3 classroom within Regina Public Schools.

I spent three wonderful weeks building relationships and engaging students in learning about protecting the environment. We embarked on a cross-disciplinary journey and discussed Indigenous leadership in environmental protection, our personal family connections to nature and the land, types of pollution in Saskatchewan and in the oceans, the difference between natural and human-made pollution, ways that we can help mitigate the effects of pollution, and many ways that we can Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, Rot, and Repurpose items to cut back on, and properly dispose of, our waste. We then used everything we learned about to create final eco-art projects by repurposing recycled items to represent either a type of pollution or a way to help the environment.
