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

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

“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.

#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
