Friday Feeling | Celebrating the great outdoors – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students celebrated Take Me Outside day, exploring and reflecting on the beautiful natural environment surrounding our schools. On Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day, we recognized with gratitude the commitment, hard work and dedication of our ECEs. We are grateful for their presence in our classrooms every day.

The Ss went outside to take part in our Listening Walk. We used our senses, collected leaves, made leaf rubbings and drew trees!! #Takemeoutsideday #Ocsbarts #OcsbScience @OttCatholicSB @CorpusOCSB pic.twitter.com/DrhpfsGx3N

We are so lucky to have the use of the "Things With Wings: Birds" backpack from #ocsbOutdoors! Today we read "Bird Watch", went birdwatching, and played with the bird plushies in our tuff tray! 🦆🦅🐦🐦‍⬛🦉 @StPhilipOCSB @YKrawiecki @OttCatholicSB #ocsb #ocsbKindergarten pic.twitter.com/wnCSnHRdwr

Thank you Ottawa's worm lady who came to drop off our vermicomposting red wigglers today. She spoke to us about their care and amazingness! We hope they like their new home. 🪱❤️ @ocsbEco @ThomasMoreOCSB @OttCatholicSB #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbDL #ocsb pic.twitter.com/qyHEyo32Xq

It’s fun to make patterns on our fingers. The Otters are becoming pros at making patterns. @BernadetteOCSB @OttCatholicSB #ocsbMath pic.twitter.com/Cp48iYiON8

Thank you @OttawaOC & @MrOzamiz for putting together such a great experiential learning opportunity for the @ImmaculataOCSB Geography classes. Students had to use orienteering skills & find checkpoints on their map around the Lansdowne area. They had so much fun!!! 📍🗺️ pic.twitter.com/zT7ZRzjA9U
