Friday Feeling | Books, bubbles and buddies – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students took the learning outside as they collaborated on building a shelter, constructed trellises for their towering bean plants, and filled the air with beautiful bubbles. They dove into reading, tried their hand at writing their very own books, and even made a heartwarming visit to a local seniors’ residence.

A is for ART DAY! 🎨🖌️ Today was day 1 of our #ABCcountdown. We started our day by creating some beautiful chalk art and then read a great read aloud that inspired us to create masterpieces indoors @misserinmick @MissPennyOCSB pic.twitter.com/cT9CiWwGCI

This morning we noticed our bean and sweet pea plants were ready to go into our garden boxes. We researched the best type of trellis for our plants and discovered that a bamboo teepee trellis would work best! We spent the morning building it together!

Our class paired up for buddy reading, practicing fluency and visualization with UFLI passages. They listened, encouraged each other, and grew together every step of the way! #ocsbLiteracy @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/jvQC0QjsN2

We're using @BookCreatorApp to create our own fiction or non-fiction book as we learn about these genres! ☺️

Students are doing wonderfully adding in text features & pictures! I can't wait to see what these amazing authors and illustrators create! 🥰 @StAnneOCSB @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/QKlYwil7kv

Tuesday's Stonehaven Manor visit was all about Bingo! Great energy in the room, especially when cards were done to close winning possibilities. @StJamesOCSB #ocsbBeCommunity pic.twitter.com/RiyNAYBhYF
