Bonne année! It was wonderful to be back together today. We made New Year's crowns and Epiphany stars. We explored a wintery sensory bin with "flocons de neige" and made "bonshommes de neige" with losse parts on the light table. St. Veronica OCSB #ocsbKinder #LearningThroughPlay

K1 & K2 love exploring with the Ozobots! First, they were asked to create simple line mazes & then they were challenged to include shapes into their designs. The more they experimented, the more their ideas evolved✨ St. Monica School #MONmoments #ocsbKinder #ocsbMath Laura Ann P

K1 & K2 began learning about graphs. They looked at retrieving info. & inputting into a graph so it’s organized and easier to read. Afterwards, they explored which object occurred the most and least. 📊 St. Monica School #MONmoments #ocsbKinder #ocsbMath Laura Ann P
