Thursday Thoughts | Connecting and Collaborating – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

This week, we turn to Thursday thoughts and marvel at the collaboration between students building towers, completing puzzles, making observations and preparing for Confirmation. Great sportsmanship was on display and students predicted whether or not we will see Spring soon.

Exploring dinosaurs some more. Learning how to draw different kinds, looking at vocabulary, and making observations. “This dinosaur has sharp teeth”! @StMonicaOCSB @morgan_kelahear pic.twitter.com/OWFUOsEcvh

Will "la marmotte" see its shadow on Friday? The Maples made puppets to act out their predictions at the puppet theater. @StRitaOCSB #GroundhogDay #LearningThroughPlay pic.twitter.com/BfcuBOEwT1

Today I challenged the Bears to make the tallest tower they could using blocks! We compared how many blocks we could stack, counted in French, and used different strategies for stability! pic.twitter.com/DdvAbJzCmN

The Grade 3's demonstrated great teamwork and critical thinking in Science as they worked in groups to design and build towers using only 50 popsicle sticks and tape. The tallest tower was over 1 meter tall 🤯 @OttCatholicSB @JohnPaulIIOCSB pic.twitter.com/uEXcuetnws
