Friday Feeling | Joyfully Waiting – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

This week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, spirits are high in our classrooms as educators and students are painting, colouring, cutting, gluing, sprinkling and creating beautiful handmade crafts to celebrate Advent and prepare for Christmas Day. Voices sang out joyfully at Advent liturgies and the true meaning of the season was evident as schools filled hampers for their community. Students worked together indoors and outdoors and, as always, radiated kindness.

We loved learning how to create snowflakes today! ❄️

Each one is unique and beautiful in their own way- just like each one of my fabulous friends in 1B!🥰 @StAnneOCSB @OttCatholicSB #ocsbJoy pic.twitter.com/QRby2kdQaH

Grade 1/2s practice their reading and writing when they come in from lunch recess in our Get To Green time. Today R shared this beautiful message with me. A heartfelt moment and reminder during this special and busy time of year! @StElizabethOCSB @ocsbRE pic.twitter.com/JdUele6AKK

Our Christmas Projects turned out so beautifully. The students enjoyed the many steps: painting, waiting, coloring, cutting, gluing, sprinkling and choosing the most special star. All while learning the story of Christmas and what the #nativity represents. @ocsbRE pic.twitter.com/Tly95ymBoX

Snow much fun! ❄️ Our Forest Friends recess club loves collaborating and creating in the snow. From creating stained glass ice windows to team-built forts, winter wonder shines brightest when we work together! @StMonicaOCSB #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbPlays @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/kBbhz456Yg

Math isn't something we "do", it's something we experience! @educatorMissS's 2/3s have been discussing mm, cm, m, and kms! Today we went on a community math walk to see how long a km is! @StMichaelOCSB @MmeMicheline @OttCatholicSB #ocsbMath #ocsb pic.twitter.com/jMwPFILJrx
