The #TerryFoxRun is here! Each class is participating honouring someone of their choice (if you can’t read the sign from this Grade 1 student, they’re running for “my great grandma”). It’s a great joy to participate and mark the legacy of Terry Fox. #TheOJCSDifference

@KyleNiemis Anytime! No, they have always been online.

@DBertrend Nice, thank you Deanna. In person this fall?

I’m looking to see how many classroom teachers also teach a class at a college or university. If you do, please comment with the course you teach! #edchat #highered

@kerengordon26 @The_OJCS It's almost summer!! Countdown is on.

@a_aizenberg @The_OJCS @GooseChaseEDU You had amazing ruach, Morah Ada!

Good luck to everyone @The_OJCS during our fun @GooseChaseEDU Maccabiyah. Let's see your #Ruach!

@literacy_edge So amazing @literacy_edge!

I am proud to be among the incredible speakers at the Educators For Animals Canadian Conference this August! My presentation, called 'Cultivating Compassion With Storytime', will provide an overview of the books that will grow empathy and an understanding of animal sentience.

Get those wands and brooms read - Maccabiah, Harry Potter Edition, is in 17 days! #TheOJCSDifference ojcsstudentlife.edublogs.org/2021/05/25/ojc…

@melissa_thomp @teacher2teacher @middleschoolmav @LJBelben_WLMS @mrsoelawarrior6 @nkcalahan @rvdemerchant @roperville14 @learningin2310 @MrsCamposSTEM @STEMGirlHolly There are some great escape rooms that offer virtual experiences like @EscapeManor. We did a fun teacher vs. student games battle last year (Skribbl and @jackboxgames). Students had a virtual video yearbook signing using @Flipgrid. I'm looking to add more ideas for this year!

Let's brainstorm virtual graduation activities! 🧠 T @melissa_thomp wants to create an "end of the year extravaganza" – might you share a few ideas? #InstantPD #KidsDeserveIt #JoyfulLeaders #MSChat

@OakDesignBuild @The_OJCS Thank you for joining us! I hope we can collaborate again! The students loved the presentation and learned a lot about the benefits of Net Zero homes.

@DBertrend @The_OJCS We had a great time teaching students about the benefits of Net Zero homes and sustainable building solutions. Thank you for having us!

Grade 6 Ss @The_OJCS learn all about Net Zero Homes from @OakDesignBuild before designing their own. We are each responsible for sustainable solutions to help repair our world. Thanks for joining our class, Trent! #SustainableEnergy

@nearpod @calm I teach to empower students that they can do amazing things and have incredible abilities. Their passion and creativity is what our world needs more of!

A great upcoming workshop series for middle school educators. @MrRayOJCS @mathemachic @BKin223 @MrCinanniOJCS @mwasherstein @LebovichRuth @SylvieRaymond14

Best moment today: Me: Has anyone heard of the Seven Years' War? Student: Yes (and then gives a detailed summary of the whole war!) Me: Um, where did you learn this? Student: Assassin's Creed Rogue There's a win for gamification and checking what your students already know!

Our students are having a GREAT day! A dance along, Purim Kahoot, student-built carnival games, and more! Here’s just a taste of our day so far. Thanks to Rabbi Eytan Kenter for reading Megillah for us this morning. #ruachweek #Purim2021 #TheOJCSDifference

#RuachWeek continues with Wacky Wednesday! (And yes, those are balloons holding up a set of braids.) #TheOJCSDifference
