Today we used non-human units of measure in Math. Although it is not quite as much fun as people, we still managed to enjoy the class!
In the afternoon, students were treated to The Early Bloomer starring Maisy Daisy and Principal Gardener.

Today we launched our unit on Hot and Cold temperatures. Students sorted a variety of images into hot/warm and cold/cool. 2MT students are excited for the start of this unit, and to begin the many experiments that are incorporated into this unit.
In Math, students learned the term, non-standard measure. We talked about the many units that we could use to measure things around our school. After much deliberation, we decided the best way to measure the hallway was with 2B students. It took a total of 40 2B students to stretch from the south end of the hallway to the north end. Also, we measured the classroom and we now know that it is 8.5 Sophie's across. Math is fun!!

Congratulations to Lewis, who was the 2B student of the week!
Also, congratulations to Deagan, who was chosen as the BP gift card recipient. Please remember to send in the receipts from your family's visits to the local BP's to be entered into the next draw.
In Math today, we explored 3D shapes, talking about the terms, edge, vertex and face. See if your child can identify the parts of 3D shapes that you see around your home.

Today the 2B students took their Energize Oil Country pledge. Each student pledged to do 60 minutes of physical activity per day. The great news is that at RBES, students are doing 90+ minutes per day at school - daily PE is amazing!! However, I am still encouraging students to do additional physical activity at home (hockey, dance, skating, swimming, sledding, playing outside, etc) and record those minutes in their Energize Logs.
In Math, we wrapped up our 3D shape unit by building spheres, cylinders and cones out of play dough and then cubes, pyramids and rectangular prisms out of marshmallows and tooth picks. It is always fun when we get to eat our math!!
