Friday Feeling | Opening Doors and Building Connections

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students were busy exploring new horizons both inside and outside the classroom! From learning letter sounds, and creating land acknowledgements to coding VR solar systems and building eco-friendly bug hotels, innovation is thriving. Many schools opened their doors to parents, guardians, and students for Parent Night, fostering strong connections within our community.

We took our @UFLiteracy lesson outside today to work on our letter sound recognition and to try to sound out simple words. #ocsboutdoors @StGiannaOCSB @ocsbEco @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/AB1RCeXaCv
