Friday Feeling | Opening Doors to a New Year – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students returned with enthusiasm, diving headfirst into reading, writing, and arithmetic! The excitement didn’t stop there—hands-on lessons in measurement, building towering structures, and conquering climbing challenges set the stage for an unforgettable start to the new year.

3C is always so proud of their STEAM creations they create after choosing the perfect book in the Learning Commons! 📚📖 @StAnneLC_OCSB @StAnneOCSB pic.twitter.com/W9GNzy4HZf

‘Read to Someone’ during Daily 5 boosts student engagement, builds fluency, and fosters collaboration! Sharing books helps develop listening and speaking skills while making reading more fun. @StMonicaOCSB #ocsbLiteracy @ocsbStudents pic.twitter.com/m19g02FdSl

In Math, students problem solved ways to organize a set of data in a Venn Diagram. How can we sort them? Is there more than one way? #OcsbMath @OttCatholicSB @CorpusOCSB @vwang001 pic.twitter.com/qHnS3bphmr
