Early Dismissal Tomorrow @ 2:15 pm

Students had fun learning and playing a new game called Ladders during our Rise and Shine Calendar time this morning.

In Social Studies, we took a closer look at each communities 'land' features.  Students hilighted text and took bullet notes.  We recognized that the land in Devon is snow and ice covered during the winter, just as it is in Iqaluit!  The difference is that the land below the surface, in Iqaluit,  is ALWAYS frozen!

In Math, students completed a Patterns Assessment assignment.

In Daily 5, we have built up to 15 minutes of stamina during Read To Self and 6 minutes during Writing Time!  Our Foundation lesson today was Listen to Reading: Set Up the Technology.  Students will be using the Chromebooks as one device for Listen to Reading.  They were shown how to log in, how to access Listen To Reading websites and what to do.

Book Orders Due tomorrow!

In Social Studies today, we looked a little more closely at the 3 communities which we will be studying this year in Grade Two:  Meteghan, Nova Scotia; Iqaluit, Nunavut; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Marathon of Hope donation from 2S was $38!!

This morning, RBES students got a little damp as we completed the Terry Fox Run the route.  Thank you to the Devon Lions who supplied water bottles, apples and granola bars for us to enjoy.

Terry Fox Run tomorrow...rain or shine!

Today students used the Chromebooks for the first time.  We were able to get logged in and did great!  If your child does not have headphones, please send a set to school ASAP.

Congratulations to all of our Cross Country Runners who raced this morning in Leduc!  We had 8 students from 2S competing!

In Math today, we continued to build Growing Patterns.  We learned that we can make Growing Patterns with shapes AND numbers!

The focus in today's assembly was RESPECT!

PD Day Tomorrow....No School!

In Math, we have been building and extending growing patterns.

Our Library block is scheduled for Thursday afternoons.  Students are allowed to take 3 books out of the library.  We all love listening to Mrs. Becker's stories!

Had to snap this picture.....working hard in Grade 2!

Our First Tasty Tuesday!

Today we had our First Tasty Tuesday.  Students received a copy of their recipe and followed directions to create Caramel Apple Dips.  They wrote a recipe review, describing things they may have seen, smelled, touched, heard and most importantly, tasted!
