Loved our PD day STEAM Minds On session St. Monica School. A powerful reminder of just how important #ocsbSTEAM education is for sparking curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and cross-curricular connections in every classroom! Ottawa Catholic School Board #ocsbBeInnovative

Such a fun time in our outdoor learning at St. Monica School. We are blessed to have such a wonderful outdoor learning space and so many curious little explorers! Measuring, picking up litter, finding shells and heart leaves and so much more! #ocsboutdoors #ocsbeco #ocsbKinder

We worked on symmetry while learning about insects, created cozy nests, explored life cycles, practiced writing and using our French language and fine motor skills to decorate eggs. #ocsbsteam #ocsbKinder St. Monica School Victoria Wilson
