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

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

There may be 2 feet of snow on the ground outside, but #ruachweek continues with Tropical Tuesday inside! #TheOJCSDifference
What a fun PJ Day and we have so many donations for @pyjamapatrol. #TheOJCSDifference
Yom Pyjama Sameach - happy pyjama day! Our students shared their love of pjs by bringing dozens of pairs to donate. And as it’s the 100th day of school, our students in K-2 enjoyed a pancake 🥞 breakfast! What a wonderful start to our week. #TheOJCSDifference

In Grade 6 Social Studies @The_OJCS Ss are detectives investigating the story behind our computers we are hovered around all day! Where are the raw materials harvested? Where are all the parts assembled? What happens to our e-waste and the impact on our 🌎?
Virtual field trip to the Toronto Zoo? Yes, please!
