Word of the Year (Of course we had to map out the morphemes etc!) @StMonicaOCSB @OCSBelementary

I’ve seen this ‘Scooping’ strategy on Instagram and started using it in my classroom (and with my tutoring students). First, clap out the syllables. Then, draw that many ‘scoops.’ Next, encode each chunk of the word.Finally, write the word underneath.@OCSBelementary @StMonicaOCSB

God bless all the Grade 2s who started the journey toward their First Communion today @StMonicaOCSB 🙏🏼💒🙏🏾

During recess today, several students showed me their ‘collection’ of snails. They have given them all names of course. I asked how they keep track of them and they showed me a special home they have created and cover with leaves at the end of each day.☺️ @ocsbEco @StMonicaOCSB

@OCSBelementary #BugClubMorphology

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

We started Bug Club Morphology today with the Intro Lesson! I think my enthusiasm caught on 🤗 Students were very engaged, asking questions and making lots of connections. Here is an excerpt from one student’s Word Study notebook… @StMonicaOCSB 📝❤️

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

I played the intro to one of my favourite childhood shows - The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers - to help solidify the meaning of the morpheme/term ‘morph’ which means ‘to change’. 🤣 Hopefully it helped! #BugClubMorphology @StMonicaOCSB @OCSBelementary @PowerRangers

Some more of our ‘Space Exploration’ @StMonicaOCSB …💫🪐

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

The Grade 6s are learning about Space! I used Brisk to make some resources for my ML. So easy and amazing what you can create with the click of a button! ✨@StMonicaOCSB

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

The weather was absolutely beautiful today! We started reading ‘Sila and the Land’ and discussed the importance of only taking what we need, and not more. @ocsbindigenous @ocsbEco @StMonicaOCSB

@kristyleetiti @CaringSociety @BeechwoodOttawa I’m missing you guys too! 💙

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

Today, for National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, we were very fortunate to have the opportunity to help with the @CaringSociety ‘s Orange Shirt Day Action Tables @BeechwoodOttawa. Students assisted other children while they beaded, wrote letters and created artistic tiles.🧡

[Ms.Bacon @Ms_Bacon22]

We are definitely blessed! 🤗
