🌲 An amazing day at #Forest School! We hiked, learned about the high water table, found some salamanders, and scrambled up a rocky path. 🦎

ERCS had an amazing #BlueJays day!Thank you to everyone who participated! Go Jays Go!

Why do we get so much energy in #spring? It’s not magic—it’s #science! When the sun stays out longer, your brain makes less “tired medicine” (melatonin) and more “happy fuel” (serotonin). That’s why you feel like jumping, playing, and smiling more!

Go throttle the first day of #spring2026

You are all mathematicians whether you realize it or not.

Happy #PiDay

By repeatedly manipulating a single sheet of paper—without writing, tearing, or cutting—what is the largest possible product you can create? Describe the factors that multiply together to achieve this product. #math #onted

Quick question—does Mille have one L or two? We just checked: it’s two Ls! Getting ready for our dictée on Friday!

What a splash-tastic day with the #Lifesavingsociety at the @YMCA in Owen Sound! Making waves and memories—definitely a wet and wonderful experience.

The #LifesavingSociety's Swim to Survive program is coming back to the Owen Sound #YMCA for our last class! Such an invaluable experience—giving the confidence and skills they need to stay safe in the water.

Community Remembers Sabrina Ormsby After Fatal Collision in Owen Sound Sabrina Ormsby, 48, died after being struck Tuesday evening while crossing an Owen Sound intersection with her daughter. Loved ones say warmth and generosity defined her life.

Today, alongside our regular learning, we took a moment as a school community to remember Sabrina Ormsby, the wife of our colleague M. Greenfield, who passed away recently. Our thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time.

Listening to classical music is like watching someone draw with sound.

It was fascinating to see what students drew with no prompting or pre-teaching—while listening to Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain and Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours. The contrast in the artwork said it all. #ArtsEd #onted

Ever wonder how many different ways there are to solve a word problem?

"M. Monck wants to build a small one room house. To frame his house, he will use 4m boards. Each wall is 4m long and 4m high. How many meters of wood will M. Monck need to frame the walls of his house! " #math

M.Monck’s class will be welcomed with the traditional of saying “Rabbit rabbit” on the first day of the month.

The "rabbit rabbit" tradition to start the month with good luck dates back to British folklore—believed to bring renewal & prosperity.

Perfect timing with our new seating plan tomorrow

Friday #MENSA Math : Chin-Tan found 52 action figures for his yard sale.
He wants to put them in more than 1 box, but fewer than 5 boxes. Each box will have the same number of figures.
How many boxes can Chin-Tan use?

In our classroom and school community, we stand together to support one another. Together, we choose kindness. #ChooseKindness #pinkshirtday

Reading an inspiring piece from @CBCKids about a remarkable young Canadian who, with the support of #UNICEF, wrote and published a book—at just 17 years old.

Nothing beats the quiet buzz of the library—scanning the shelves, chasing that spark of excitement when you know you've just found your next great read. #CanadaReads

Frisbee curling, mega-structures, beaver habitat, and hot chocolate. Just another day of absolutely crushing it at #ForestSchool! The best classroom has no walls. #onted #OutdoorLearning

Working on our short answer questions in French. Sharing our amazing work in the hallways so that all of East Ridge can enjoy. #reading

Diving into fascinating reads today in English and in French —from the vibrant traditions of Chinese New Year to the @cbc story of belugas finding a new home.

Hear ye! Prognosticator of prognosticators, @wiartonwilly.bsky.social , has decreed an early spring. We love you, you weather-whispering rodent!

Snow Day Math Adventure! ❄️
Today, we explored the deep connection between division and multiplication through real-world word problems. The focus and perseverance were fantastic! #SnowDayLearning

Working on math word problems. Last step — did I actually answer the question they asked? #ProblemSolving

Hands-on math: connecting multiplication to addition using arrays! It’s all about rows, columns, and seeing the numbers in action. #mathchat

Huge thank you to our resident artist @ShirraBenson & @MagicofChildrenintheArts! 🎨

Our class learned about, designed, and created amazing #art today. The creativity was truly magical!

Elf report: Ginger Snap converted a desk into a snowy playground overnight. Mission: play. Accomplished. #ClassroomLife

Today’s lesson: the power of a handwritten word. My students made holiday cards, learning that their words can reach out and brighten someone’s entire day.

Our cheeky elf, Ginger Snap, is back at it! We arrived to find she’d helped herself to Mr. Monck’s breakfast. #elf

Today, we turned math class into a construction zone! Students used geometry and measurement skills to build gingerbread houses. Nothing beats hands-on learning to cement those concepts. Future master builders in the making! #onted #math
