The #TerryFoxRun is here! Each class is participating honouring someone of their choice (if you can’t read the sign from this Grade 1 student, they’re running for “my great grandma”). It’s a great joy to participate and mark the legacy of Terry Fox. #TheOJCSDifference

@melissa_thomp @teacher2teacher @middleschoolmav @LJBelben_WLMS @mrsoelawarrior6 @nkcalahan @rvdemerchant @roperville14 @learningin2310 @MrsCamposSTEM @STEMGirlHolly There are some great escape rooms that offer virtual experiences like @EscapeManor. We did a fun teacher vs. student games battle last year (Skribbl and @jackboxgames). Students had a virtual video yearbook signing using @Flipgrid. I'm looking to add more ideas for this year!

@OakDesignBuild @The_OJCS Thank you for joining us! I hope we can collaborate again! The students loved the presentation and learned a lot about the benefits of Net Zero homes.

[Deanna Bertrend @DBertrend]

Grade 6 Ss @The_OJCS learn all about Net Zero Homes from @OakDesignBuild before designing their own. We are each responsible for sustainable solutions to help repair our world. Thanks for joining our class, Trent! #SustainableEnergy

Best moment today:
Me: Has anyone heard of the Seven Years' War?
Student: Yes (and then gives a detailed summary of the whole war!)
Me: Um, where did you learn this?
Student: Assassin's Creed Rogue
There's a win for gamification and checking what your students already know!

[The OJCS @The_OJCS]

Our students are having a GREAT day! A dance along, Purim Kahoot, student-built carnival games, and more! Here’s just a taste of our day so far. Thanks to Rabbi Eytan Kenter for reading Megillah for us this morning. #ruachweek #Purim2021 #TheOJCSDifference

#RuachWeek continues with Wacky Wednesday! (And yes, those are balloons holding up a set of braids.)
