Friday Feeling | Winter Wonderland – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students launched Black History Month and embraced the season with winter walks filled with discovery. A trip to a science museum, new and exciting games in the gymnasium, and a French bakery brought plenty of smiling faces along with a whole lot of learning and exploration.

What a special moment to see one Bear making a snowball and giving it to another Bear so that she could use our new snow targets. No one asked him to make her a snowball. He is just that kind! 💕 Go Be Kind Bears. pic.twitter.com/aL6qljQZ0b

Kinders are learning more about West Africa today through la musique 🎶 We explored rythme through the Djembe drum! “I like that the drum means together in peace!” @ocsbequity #ocsbBlackHistoryMonth @AngelsOCSB @ocsbArts #ocsbKinder pic.twitter.com/4VfKBGa69D

Elbow-to-elbow, knee-to-knee, we are reading with a buddy. Students were looking for the consonant digraph PH in their decodable books @StGiannaOCSB @OttCatholicSB #ocsbliteracy pic.twitter.com/6IgiYFYCH2

Grade 6 leaders collaborating in the gym with the Oaks kindergarten class

We played “garbage ball” first- the side with less balls wins! Then we used the parachute to play “Le chat et la souris”

Kinders were “les chats” and the grade 6s were “les souris” pic.twitter.com/AHmG6KgORB
