A MathUp sample inquiry in action! How do we sort? "Because they go on the road!" "Because they are all blocks!" Rich opportunities for discussion, student voice (and documentation)! @MmeMicheline @StMichaelOCSB @P_Luxton @OttCatholicSB #ocsbMath #ocsb #ocsbKindergarten

K1 & K2 began learning about graphs. They looked at retrieving info. & inputting into a graph so it’s organized and easier to read. Afterwards, they explored which object occurred the most and least. 📊 @StMonicaOCSB #MONmoments #ocsbKinder #ocsbMath @LauraAnnP2

K1 & K2 love exploring with the Ozobots! First, they were asked to create simple line mazes & then they were challenged to include shapes into their designs. The more they experimented, the more their ideas evolved✨ @StMonicaOCSB #MONmoments #ocsbKinder #ocsbMath @LauraAnnP2

Another big shipment, and we turned styrofoam into icy bergs for our winter sensory bin! My young audience called it “beautiful” as they eagerly waited to dove in, ready to create new stories with their imagination & senses! ♻️♥️🤩 #ocsbKindergarten @StAnneOCSB

Bonne année! It was wonderful to be back together today. We made New Year's crowns and Epiphany stars. We explored a wintery sensory bin with "flocons de neige" and made "bonshommes de neige" with losse parts on the light table. @StVeronicaOCSB #ocsbKinder #LearningThroughPlay

Part 1 - Creating their own small world play scenario using the city blocks, traffic signs and toy cars. “The pick up truck is going to the school to pick me up at the school, then it’s going to go at the house to see what’s going on with the kitty and puppy.” said A.G.

Roll the dice and put that amount of Fall loose parts on your tree. A beginning math provocation that the students enjoyed! Learning to count, subitize, and represent the number. 🧡🍂🍁

We kicked off International #SixBricks Day with an AI-powered story sequencing activity, followed by some mat coding. Next, we enjoyed a colorful scavenger hunt outdoors, and wrapped up the day by building boats that float in puddles! @StMonicaOCSB #ocsbSTEAM #ocsbOutdoors
