Friday Feeling | Snow, Sun and the Solar Eclipse – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators prepared their students with enlightening lessons about the upcoming solar eclipse. Classes began soil studies before the snow returned with a special Frozen Fun Day for one school. Our schools promoted anti-bullying efforts alongside autism awareness to foster a culture of empathy and inclusivity for all individuals.

We are so excited for the eclipse on Monday we made special hats to wear for the occasion!☀️🌕🌑

Something special is happening @StPhilipOCSB! @MrsHarcoff has brought in eggs from Farmer Shannon and we are starting to incubate them in our classroom! This is a great piece of experiential learning! #ocsbKindergarten @OttCatholicSB #ocsb pic.twitter.com/mtdQExkXK6

Ask your child about today’s anti-bullying workshop. We had members of the @REDBLACKS team in the building sharing strategies about internet safety and anti-bullying. @CorpusOCSB @ParentsCorpus @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/7XqoQL3iTn
