Sir William Osler PS

Congrats to our Grade 8 graduates-we’re so incredibly proud of you!

"Five stick people were walking straight and tall. Number 5 tripped on a rock and he began to fall. His friends caught him, he did not touch the ground. So from now on when we tally, we show the 5th mark lying down." Tally-mark family creation fun in small groups this week!

Co-facilitating Phase 1 of the inquiry process with our intermediates. Using the Q-Chart to guide research. Also had an opportunity to learn about their passions too! Engagement is high and exciting!

Happy to co-facilitate Genius Hour with our 7/8s. This cross-curricular platform provides infinite opportunities for engagement, assessment and 21st century competencies through an inquiry stance. Excited to see how our students’ passions will come to life over the coming weeks.

We’re mad for plaid here at SWO today!

All the things that start with “A”!

Scarecrow self portraits in grade 1/2.

Inspiring writing prompts in our intermediate class. Awesome to see links to reading strategies too where writers are encouraged to explore plot, character and conflict.

Searching for short o sounds in a variety of texts.

Representing fractions in multiple ways.

Uber reads in full effect! Just because the library isn’t open, doesn’t mean that readers don’t have access to books- thanks to Ms Kistemaker for getting creative with book exchange!

The brilliant Ms. Kistemaker is up to her incredible innovating skills again... Bucket drumming outdoors- with a lesson projected on a brick wall.

Another excellent fire drill in the books! 🚒

Excellent first School Council meeting. Looking forward to working with such a dedicated and enthusiastic team of parents this year!

Such a great Terry Fox run here at SWO. We even had a special guest join us! @DH_scdsb

Great start to my day with visits to @FredCCookPS & @SWOslerPS for their @TerryFoxCanada walks! An absolutely beautiful morning! @SCDSB_Schools

Families- please check backpacks for important messaging around school reorganization. Also, don't forget to wear red and white for our Terry Fox run tomorrow!

Marching Band candidates? We think so!!
