"The Safe Place is like a credit card; if you don't teach children how to use it, they're gonna abuse it every time." Listen in as Master Instructor Kim Jackson teaches what the Safe Place is and how crucial it is for each child to have a "person." rb.gy/xuiim

@MrsBennett92 @The_OJCS @miss_beswick I’d love to learn more 😊👍

I look forward to #SameHereSchoolsMonth. I hope to get my amazing colleagues @The_OJCS to participate this year. #SEL is so important! @ReichsteinS ,@miss_beswick

@KarissaZuorro @LKrantzberg @The_OJCS I love this activity!! How fun 🥰

Today we turned the “headbands” into a game during Language Arts, it was a fun way to practice reading and writing! Thanks @LKrantzberg for the idea! @The_OJCS

@KarissaZuorro So exciting! What was inside the beautiful treasure box?

After finishing over 140 homework activities (!!!!!) we found a secret treasure delivered to the school just for us 🥳

@3Aojcs @The_OJCS Beyond incredible learning Kitah Gimmel! Do you know many adults don’t even know what bound bases or a twin bases are? And it fills my heart that you are investigating the word <inclusion> as a kick off to #jdaim2023 #SWI for the win yet again!

We kicked off #JDAIM2023 by investigating the word INCLUDE! We learned the difference between bound bases/free bases AND we learned about twin bases! @The_OJCS @ReichsteinS #JDAIM #SWI

@KarissaZuorro @LKrantzberg Loving this so much Kitah Aleph! Also love that you are using resources from one of my favourite sites Can Do Kids Academy which is filled with high quality resources directly in line with #SWI 👏👏👏👏

While reading “The Cool Bean”, the grade 1s noticed all of the different words in the story that ended with the <-ed> suffix. We explored the different sounds <-ed> can make and went on a suffix hunt! @LKrantzberg @ReichsteinS

@MorahAnnLynn @The_OJCS So proud of you Kitah Bet for investigating words and the reason behind their spelling! SWI for the win 😊👏

It took a few tries but our Grade 2 students @The_OJCS were able to figure out how to spell, bottle. Do you know why there is an <e> at the end? My students could tell you. #StructuredWordInquiry

@KarissaZuorro Love this cross-curricular activity!! Such fun. Which letter was most popular? Happy Hanukkah Kitah Alef!

We used our dreidels in math class to help us with graphing and data management. We put whatever Hebrew letter the dreidel landed on on our graph to see which we would see the most!

@The_OJCS I wish these magic dreidels could come true!! So proud of your beautiful wishes Kitah Bet!

Grade 2 read The Magic Dreidel by Eric Kimmel, and then imagined what their own magic dreidel's would do. These thoughtful and touching creations are worth a closer read, including an unlimited supply, food, housing, medicine, and love. #TheOJCSDifference

@1bojcs @Jon_Mitzmacher @3Aojcs @kerengordon26 @The_OJCS I’ll take some chocolate and vanilla swirl please - especially if it’s soft serve! 🍦🤗

We are learning about graphs so we decided to open up our own ice cream shop. We narrowed down our flavours to: Candy Island, Cotton Candy, S’mores and Chocolate and Vanilla swirl. Which would you choose? @3Aojcs @Jon_Mitzmacher @kerengordon26 @ReichsteinS @The_OJCS

@LKrantzberg @1bojcs Chicken seems to be a base word but I’d love for you to investigate words with the <-en>suffix and see if the sound you are wondering about stays the same. dark + en wood + en deep + en Can you think of other words with that suffix? Notice the sound?

@1bojcs Hmm.. that’s a great question! It’s important to remember that English words are based on history, the way the word is built, AND the sound… I could be wrong, but I think it’s because of the history of the word! In Old English it was <cicen>. Can @ReichsteinS confirm?

@LKrantzberg we are wondering why the word chicken has an e but sounds like it has an i..any ideas?

@LKrantzberg @1bojcs Great question! Words are not spelled in English by sounding it out. As you know many letters (graphemes) can make many sounds (phonemes). Like Morah Lianna said it comes from Old English cicen (plural cicenu) "young of the domestic hen, the young of any bird”

@a_aizenberg @The_OJCS This is incredible!! Structured word inquiry in HEBREW!!! Love this so much 👏👏👏👏

Last Friday my Kitah Alef @The_OJCS made a language detour during our Parashat Shavuah... you can read about it on our blog theojcsgrade1.edublogs.org/2022/11/06/a-p…

@1bojcs @The_OJCS @KarissaZuorro Love the big dice! So much fun.

Today in math we practiced adding by playing roll and add with a partner! @The_OJCS @KarissaZuorro

@1bojcs @The_OJCS @KarissaZuorro @a_aizenberg That is super cool! What is the liquid you used to do that? Have you discovered why this happens?

Today in science we got to go down to the MAKERSPACE!! We were so excited. We have been learning about why leaves change colours in fall so today we did an experiment to see if we could take the colour pigment off the leaves ourselves! @The_OJCS @KarissaZuorro @a_aizenberg

Here's my first @The_OJCS blog of the year! Highlighting our Learning Loft, Learning Center and our exceptionally talented resource teachers @miss_beswick Ms. Mender and Mr. Piovesan! ojcsspecialneeds.edublogs.org/2022/10/25/wha…

@3Aojcs @literacy_edge @The_OJCS @CommonSenseEd I love this activity! 👏👍🥰

This morning we learned about the Rings of Responsibility with Miss Brigitte in the Library! You have responsibilities for yourself, your community, and the world! @literacy_edge @The_OJCS @CommonSenseEd

@KarissaZuorro @The_OJCS Reading what the students wrote fill my heart! Beautiful activity 👏👍🥰

Grade 1 loved reading “We’re All Wonders” by R. J. Palacio. We talked about what makes us special and unique as well as how we show kindness. Check out these cool books where we shared what makes us wonders! @The_OJCS
