Gr 6 @The_OJCS Ss welcomed back (in person this year!) special guest speaker Scott (cosmicademy.ca) today. Ss learned about the how the discovery of right angle triangle facts were used to calculate distances and sizes of our moon and sun. #STEM #TheOJCSDifference
Gr 6 @The_OJCS Ss learned triangle facts, basic trigonometry with our special guest speaker Scott (cosmicacademy.ca) today. They applied this knowledge with what we know about solar eclipses to calculate distances and sizes of our moon and sun. #STEM #TheOJCSDifference
The first ever @The_OJCS Esports team kicked off the fall season by playing the Huskies in Knockout City. Go Rams Go! #TrueNorth #TheOJCSDifference

Today, every view of this video helps create positive change. All you need to do is watch it and Bell will donate 5¢ more to Canadian mental health initiatives. Retweet to help spread the word! #BellLetsTalk
After 100+ hrs of printing, a machine breakdown and fix (thx @lulzbot3D support!) our @The_OJCS delivery of PPE to Hillel Lodge is complete. The last 150 Ear Savers (modified and customized using @tinkercad) are on their way! #theojcsdifference #InThisTogether
Isn't it great when our @The_OJCS students reach above and beyond, even in the last week of school? The screencast wasn't a requirement, but this student went for it anyhow in her @CoSpaces_Edu build. #floorbutnoceiling #theOJCSdifference

So proud of our @The_OJCS Middle School for its first delivery of student-designed, school 3D-printed #PPE to #HillelLodge today! Special thanks to @MrRayOJCS for his leadership and to Ted Cohen for his partnership! #TheOJCSDifference #WhenTorahLeadsToAction @JewishOttawa

“Teachers need to coach and mentor, but with grades, teachers turn into judges. I think we can show the unique abilities of kids without stratifying them.” Here’s why teachers are leaving behind the traditional grading system.

Coaching on his own today, @MrCinanniOJCS and the @The_OJCS 7/8 girls basketball team improved to 2-1 after a big win. Lots of players had their best game of the year as they continue to get better week after week. With no help from today’s replacement ref 😝 #ruach Go Rams Go!
Podcasts, designing farming prototypes, black holes, and braille Rubik’s cubes are just a sample of the exciting #geniushour projects that are coming together in the maker space this week, as @The_OJCS middle school students work on the ‘making’ portion of their projects.
Grade 6 @The_OJCS Ss learning about mental health and #BellLetsTalk today in PE class. Please retweet to raise $ for mental health. #BeKind #CreatePositiveChange
Gr. 7/8 @The_OJCS basketball season is underway with @MrCinanniOJCS. Girls won a tight one 23-22, while the boys lost a heartbreaker 21-20 after almost pulling off the comeback. #ruach #theojcsdifference
Thank you for volunteering to be a judge! Very proud of the effort they put in to those projects.
Grade 7 Ss @The_OJCS coded their own #VR systems using @CoSpaces_Edu in Science class with @MrRayOJCS. So impressed and loved being a judge this morning! #TheOJCSDifference
Classes in the #makerspace @The_OJCS have begun. Let the making, excitement, creativity, learning, and fun begin! #theojcsdifference #welearnbettertogether

#innovation comes from failure. The by-product of an activity can allow Ss to grasp higher level concepts earlier and more authenticity then waiting for the “assigned grade’s curriculum” Where does this land in evaluating and assessing the process?@mraspinall #changingassessment – at Brampton, Ontario
