Way to go, 2C and 2D!  You rocked your Patience Rap!!! Click HERE to watch the full length video of the performance.  

Wow, the smoke from the fires in Northern Alberta was thick today, because of this, students were indoors for the majority of the day.  Our thoughts are with all those affected by the fires.

Today student completed their colour poems Google Slides, based on the book My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss.  

We hope to see you all at assembly tomorrow for our P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E performance!  

Students enjoyed their third and final Wellness Afternoon!

Soapstone day was a huge success!  Thank you to Mrs. Sinclair-Rice, Mrs. Berlando, Mrs. Broadhurst and Mrs. Dempster, who came and helped with the activity.  

2D Students also enjoyed participating in Bike Day.  Thank you to all of the parents who went above and beyond to ensure your child's bike and helmet were here today.  

In Math, students are working on addition with regrouping.  They are practicing using both the algorithm method and also manipulatives.  Ask your child to solve this equation for you this evening: 36+28=__

Thank you, Mrs. Taylor, for supplying the ingredients to make Beachy Bear Cookies

We launched our last unit in science today: Small Crawling & Flying Animals. We learned the terms vertebrates (have bones) and invertebrates (does not have bones)!

In Math, students continue to learn about growing and shrinking patterns. Today we described these patterns by identifying the starting point and difference. Ask your child to write out the pattern, given this pattern rule:

Start at 5 and add 3 each time.

Students were introduced to addition with regrouping. using manipulatives and completing the standard algorithm, We will continue to work on this concept, along with subtraction, daily.

In the olden days...

This morning, students were introduced to an archaic learning tool...the dictionary! They were excited to thumb through the pages to find the word 'school' and asked, "Can I read the dictionary?" when they were finished their work. Who knew!

It was Hats on For Mental Health today!

This morning we had the pleasure of having Mrs. D read to us.  Thank you to the Devon Lions Club for coming to read to our students and also for your generous donations of books!

In math, students learned to identify even and odd numbers by pairing up objects. Skip counting by 2s sure came in handy when counting smiley faces.

During Writer's Workshop, we began exploring Poetry! Today, students wrote Acrostic Name Poems, getting creative with adjectives to describe themselves!

Thank you to our incredible RBES parent council/parents for the delicious treats and adorable succulent - a very thoughtful and kind gesture!
