Exciting update to our #SixBricks Brick Race game! Introducing a new rule that sparked engaging math discussions: Roll an even number, place your brick vertically. Roll an odd number, place it horizontally. Loving the #ocsbMath connections we're seeing! St. Monica School

Adding scarves to the block center creates a whole new way to play and explore! The students’ creativity soars as design magical landscapes. St. Monica School #ocsbSTEAM #ocsbPlay

Our Gr.1 crew worked to measure how long our snakes are (using nonstandard units). We had lots of rich math talks happening as we discussed strategies and why everyone’s answers were different even though the snakes are equal lengths. St. Monica School #ocsbMath

It’s amazing to see how students can use our Makerspace materials to make their learning visible! St. Monica School #ocsbDL #ocsbSTEAM

Exploring dandelions through art, movement, music, and literacy activities St. Monica School. From painting to dancing, singing, and word building, our students experienced the wonders of dandelions in many ways! #ocsbArts #ocsbLiteracy #ocsbOutdoors

Our Forest Friends experience was inspired by this beautiful book that celebrates the resilience of the dandelion. After, we did a ‘Dandelion Hunt’ to search for each stage of the dandelion life cycle in our school yard St. Monica School. #ocsbIndigenous ocsbECO #ocsbOutdoors

🌈 Our playtime embraces the vibrant colors and wonders that come with seasonal changes. St. Monica School #ocsbPlays #ocsbSTEAM
