After completing research on a specific natural phenomenon, the Grade 5 students visited the #Makerspace to design and build a structure that can withstand the conditions related to this phenomenon @The_OJCS @MrRayOJCS

Students @The_OJCS have started getting their end-of-year notices about returning library books. Please have a good look at home and have students return the books to the library. If books are lost, please contact me directly.

Sunny days are for independent novel studies and snacks outside ☀️📚 @The_OJCS

[AWhitteker @whitteker_a]

A one-pager is an analytical, creative and written response to a novel that completely fills one side of a piece of paper. Students use quotes, questions, pictures and more to depict the important parts of a novel they have read. @The_OJCS

Today our grade 5 students are learning how to use their research skills and critical thinking to evaluate information. This @nearpod lesson is an important reminder to students that not all sources are created equal.

When your grade 1s meet your grade 5s! Both classes had so much fun meeting each other and practicing their French reading together! @The_OJCS @whitteker_a

Grade 5 explored some real-world examples of changes in matter, and how those changes can have both positive and negative implications for our environment.

Thanks to the @ottawahumane for teaching us about wildlife conflicts as they relate to our shared habitat. We also learned the importance of working together to develop solutions to common issues involving urban wildlife in our community. @The_OJCS

As part of #JDAIM, Grade 5 welcomed Peter, a gentleman with Cerebral Palsy who uses a device to communicate, and a power chair for mobility. He has a great sense of humour and the kids were able to ask him many questions. #TheOJCSDifference

[AWhitteker @whitteker_a]

In preparation for a special guest, who speaks only using a device, we did an activity in which we typed a message we use daily only using 1 knuckle. We were able to see how difficult this daily task can be for people #JDAIM @The_OJCS

Today our @The_OJCS grade 5 students learned how to make perfectly formatted 'Works Cited' and 'Bibliography' pages. Not an easy task, but made a whole lot easier with the Google Docs citation tool.
