I am never certain that our parents and community appreciate the rigour and relevance that our Librarian provides to our students and teachers. #TheOJCSDifference

As a part of my @The_OJCS professional development, I have been taking part in a wonderful course called 'AI and Libraries, for Skeptics' by @LibJuiceAcademy and Tim Ribaric. Here I write about what I've learned about the need for algorithmic literacy.

I agree! I always tell my Ss โThe more you read the more you learnโ ๐ It is pure magic to watch kids learn to read in Grade One. Thank you for helping to ignite that spark! ๐

Our Grade 1 students watched a special video for #OrangeShirtDay and talked about how #EveryChildMatters.
They designed orange shirts and made a paper chain. The students wrote on each link about what every child needs for a good life.

Our Grade 6 students have been working on bat boxes to help house Ottawa's bat population. Check out their handiwork and the impressive way they programmed our laser cutter to make them personalized. We know these will be welcome refuge for our flying friends. #TheOJCSDifference

"Thank you" is insufficient to properly acknowledge how appreciative we are of these three OJCS parents who, week after week, made sure that Hot Dog Tuesdays were a lunchtime success this year. They are #TheOJCSDifference.
