We are having so much fun learning about polar bears! Today we learned that a male polar bear can be 10 feet tall and measured ourselves against the polar bear who is standing in our hallway. The highlight of our 'beary awesome' day today was checking in with Chinook, Kalluk and Tatqiq, the three polar bears from the San Diego Zoo.
In Math, students used 2D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles, ovals, squares) to create an amazing masterpiece on their Chromebook. The creativity of 2B students must be commended!

Today in Math, students used their chromebooks to continue the exploration of 2D shapes. Check out the BGRS Engaging Students website for some great links!
Today we continued reading about the veterans at the Kipness Centre. The stories of John, a Leading Seamen, Irwin, a Wireless Electrical Mechanic, and Jack, a Gunner, were unbelievable! We were especially interested by Irwin's stories of Morse Code; Google helped us find this awesome website where you are able to convert any word or sentence into Morse Code. We are extremely grateful to the Veterans who took the time to share their stories with us!
Lastly, please check out the RBES website for information on the Winter Walk, coming up Feb. 3. There is no charge for this event, but permission forms are required. They are now available on Powerschool, please log in and complete them at your earliest convenience (Due Feb. 2).
In Gym, we have been working through the dance unit. Students had fun learning the Macarena today with Mrs. Towne!

During Daily 5, all students have been focusing on the comprehension strategy - retelling. Students have a visual on the board and also in their Daily 5 bags to help with this. The Retelling Rope prompts them to verbally retell the: setting, characters, problem, beginning, middle, end and the resolution. If you'd like, there is a copy of the image below that you can print and use at home during your home reading sessions. The parent pipeline also came home describing this strategy.
You may remember that in November, we created postcards for veterans and mailed them to various Veteran's Lodges across the province. We were fortunate to receive two responses back! A letter from the Kipness Center arrived last week and it is amazing! In the letter, 5 veterans wrote back with personal stories of their lives and time in service. Today we read about Lynn, a Plotter from England, and Tom, a Pilot.

Today is the last day of January skating. It has been fun and we are already looking forward to the February skating week. THANK YOU to the outstanding 2B parents volunteers, you are truly amazing!
Students continued their learning about shapes today and I look forward to using their new knowledge to create scary monsters in Art tomorrow!
In Social, students began learning about the Acadian people of Meteghan. This French community has many unique traditions and unique characteristics.

Today was another fun day of skating.
In Math, students learned a new card game called FaceOff. Elijah was extra excited when he drew the Connor McDavid cards 9 & 7, and better yet, on Connor's birthday!! This is a simple game that you can play at home with your child. Email if you'd like to have the game boards sent home.
In Science/LA, students began researching about Polar Bears. Note taking and summarizing is a new and tricky topic, but the students did great!
