a beautiful day for outdoor education!

can’t believe it’s April. we are enjoying integration, special presentations, weekly community outings and our integrated lifeskills program, all while continuing to raise the bar academically. I am so proud of these kids, our team, and the program we’ve built. on to next year!

getting grumpy @ The Grumpy Bear! overheard today by our students: “we’re serving XYZ and this vegan gluten free option” “would you like a to go cup or a reusable cup?” “here is your change, I gave it in loonies so it’s easier to carry” and “thank you for supporting our class!”

heading off the swimming pool after mapping our bus routes to the rec centre and back. practising life skills, community safety, and self regulation out in the world. thank you OC Transpo for our annual training passes!

the treats are next level at The Grumpy Bear Coffee Co lately! I am simply amazed at our students’ growth through this life skills project. I am enjoying collecting data on how it has helped bridge the gap between specialized programs and the mainstream school for my #PQP2

Coding and Baking there is a connection. S’s combined many skills today by baking gingerbread cookies for Friday’s #coffeecart @mscorbett131 @CSHUOttawa @SWCPublicSchool

Continuing with our theme of #generosity. S’s wrote holiday cards for local residents of a retirement home. We want to try and brighten the holidays for those who may not have visitors or receive gifts. #RandomActsOfKindness @mscorbett131 @SWCPublicSchool @CSHUOttawa

Team 104 S’s discussed that we can demonstrate #generosity in a variety of ways other than money; we can use our time, skill, and attention. Today we created these beautiful pieces of art to be auctioned off to help raise money for the @OttawaFoodBank @mscorbett131 @CSHUOttawa

[Rhonda Tough (She/Her) @MrsRTough]

S’s @SWCPublicSchool were busy focusing on Language Arts and Media Literacy as we prepared commercials for our new #coffeecart project. @mscorbett131 @CSHUOttawa

The Grumpy Bear Coffee Cart co had it’s grand opening today and it provided a wealth of opportunity and smiles for everyone. #medialiteracy #financialliteracy #language #socialskills #drama @CSHUOttawa @mscorbett131 @SWCPublicSchool

“We made so much profit!! Can we do it again tomorrow?” @toughchick1

[Katie Corbett @mscorbett131]

the turnout to our grand opening was simply amazing! we served 25 customers and sold out of baked goods! the boys’ etiquette was beyond amazing.

[Katie Corbett @mscorbett131]

it’s finally here! we have been working so hard on our integrated life skills project. today we open up to serve staff hot coffee and tea and fresh baked goods!

[Katie Corbett @mscorbett131]

We love our meetings with Jazz the therapy dog! Today the Humane Society came to us again to talk about urban wildlife!

[Katie Corbett @mscorbett131]

Team 104’s first annual trip to the Ottawa 67’s school day was a huge success! On our best behaviour, so well organized, and a 7–1 win for Ottawa! Can’t wait for next year!

[Rhonda Tough (She/Her) @MrsRTough]

Well that was stinky! but SO WORTH IT!! S’s @SWCOCDSB examined their egg experiments. These scientists developed a hypothesis and then used their observation skills to describe what changes occurred. So much excitement and learning in room 104! @mscorbett131 @CSHUOttawa #Science

my recommendation for a successful Mon H’ween: get the special done before 11am, slow everything right down - spend more time being mindful, transitioning, and quiet work time, and have a regular and calming afternoon. Way too much overstimulation coming tonight for our kids.
