This morning, we had the pleasure of watching Jurassic Bark, a drama presentation about a paleontologist at Dinosaur Provincial Park, with many curricular connections.



In addition, we also played Indigenous Games in Gym.  Thank you to Mr. Larson for leading us in this fun experience!

Thank you!

A heartfelt thank you to the RBES Parent Council, and the many volunteers, for a beautiful Teacher Appreciation lunch! Your support and kindness are always appreciated.

Thank you, Ms. Renneberg for supplying this month's Tasty Tuesday ingredients to make Dirt Cups! There were a lot of chocolatey faces in 2C this afternoon!

In Art today, students enjoyed using water colours to create Spring Little Birdies.

Our little superheroes were looking particularly adorable today!  

We have arrived in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!

In Social Studies today, we flew to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the final community that we will be visiting this year.

April is Oral Health Awareness month and 2C was fortunate to have Dr. Bains and her assistant, Lisa (Sophia's mom), come and discuss with us the importance of dental health. Each student was also excited to receive a brand new toothbrush!

Tomorrow is Super Hero Day!

Mmmmmmmm! Hot Chocolate!

2C Hot Chocolate Storage Container Winner. After 2 hours, the water temperature only dropped 40.6 degrees Celsius!

Congratulations to all of 2C who participated in the Hot Chocolate Storage Container challenge!

Have a wonderful Easter break!

Classes resume on April 19, 2017.

Return Home Reading tomorrow!

In Poetry, students have been creating Cinquains. A cinquain poem is a verse of five lines that do not rhyme. The cinquain poem was created by Adelaide Crapsey. Here are a couple of examples from 2C students....

In Social Studies, we began the exploration of our last community, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

In Math, students completed an exit slip for Addition to 100. They were asked to solve two math equations, 3 different ways. Ask them to solve this equation for you: 45 + 28 = ?

Thank goodness for the layer of 'blubber', the water temperature was zero degrees Celsius!

Hot & Cold Temperature Day 1

Reading thermometers around the school! The warmest temperature was in the boot room!

Does a potato change when it is heated?

Mittens are INSULATORS. They keep the heat in!

Tomorrow is Hot & Cold Temperature Day in 2C! Students will make predictions, experiment, observe, and come to conclusions about heating and cooling!

There are two exciting Easter contests happening in the library.  The fist is a candy guess.  Students placed their guesses today during library.  Mrs. Raugust provided us with a hint: it was greater than 300, but less than 500.  The second contest is a colouring contest, students are bringing home their colouring sheets today, they can be returned at any time.  

Library tomorrow!

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break!  Students wrote about their week off and it sounds as though you were all very busy!

In Math, we learned how to use an open-number line to solve addition to 100 equations.  Ask your child to show you this unique way to solve the  addition equation 35 + 22 =?.

This week, students have word sort  word assessments on Friday.
