Friday Feeling | Opening Doors and Building Community

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, we’ve been inspired by the power of community and learning. From fostering literacy to supporting students in need and a co-op student returning to their elementary school, it’s been a week of giving back. Students explored critical thinking in the digital age, and we celebrated the new school year by opening doors to all.

Our first @UFLiteracy lesson of the 2024/2025 school year! 🤩 Students blew me away this morning with their participation and engagement reviewing lesson 35a.📚Way to go, @StClareOCSB ✨stars✨ #OcsbLiteracy pic.twitter.com/qXfunFgjOX

There are so many beautiful new trees on our @StVeronicaOCSB yard! K1 chose this tree to be our "class tree". Every month we will take a class photo in front of it. We will observe it as it changes and grows! @ocsbEco @takemeoutside #ocsbOutdoors #OutdoorLearning pic.twitter.com/3jBgYQqr8K
