The Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach is a multisensory teaching method that focuses on breaking down reading and spelling into smaller, manageable skills, allowing students to build upon them over time. Originally designed to support students with dyslexia, this method has proven effective for all learners, especially when integrated into the instructional model of École Jean-Jacques Rousseau (EJJR). The school’s smaller class sizes and personalized attention create an ideal environment for implementing the OG approach, helping to strengthen reading and spelling foundations for every student, while addressing individual needs to achieve successful outcomes.

🌟🍉 Fruit Salad Workshop for Preschoolers! 🍏🍓
Today, our MS kiddos had an absolute blast during our fresh Fruit Salad workshop! As part of our Period 1 theme on taste, the children are discovering different fruits, practicing their cutting skills with safe tools, and, most importantly, whipping up delicious fruit salads. It was a vibrant and flavorful experience that encouraged teamwork and healthy eating! 🥗✨ Our little chefs loved mixing and matching their favorite fruits, exploring new textures and flavors. The smiles on their faces as they enjoyed their creations were truly priceless! 😄💚Check out some of our fruity masterpieces! 🍌🍍🥭 #PreschoolFun #HealthyEating #FruitSaladWorkshop #LittleChefs

🌟Grade 7 Excellence in Science! 🌟
Proud to showcase the amazing work of our Grade 7 students, who recently completed a project after studying the system of gas exchange and the mechanisms of respiration in living organisms. Their project beautifully illustrates how gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged during respiration—a key concept in understanding how living organisms function! At École Jean-Jacques Rousseau, our prep program strives to equip students for a variety of future paths, including those in STEM fields. With a strong focus on Math and Biology, we aim to inspire curiosity and critical thinking in our young scientists!🧪🔬 #STEMExcellence #FutureScientists #BiologyInAction #PrepForTheFuture #EcoleJeanJacquesRousseau
