Today was research day. 2B Fishermen were engaged and excited to research about: parts of a boat, types of boats, propulsion and shapes of boats. Ask your child to share some of their knowledge with you, you will be amazed!
Miquelon Lake Reminder
Students are very excited for our trip to Miquelon Lake tomorrow, here are a couple of reminders:
Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather as these activities will take place outdoors. The current forecast is a mix of sun and clouds with a projected temperature of 17C (although we all know how quickly that can change, so please verify the forecast tomorrow morning: http://www.
Students should also bring sunscreen, bug spray, a hat and water.
Please send a bagged lunch and snack (brown paper bag or IGA bag with your child's name on it- no lunchboxes) with your child as we will not be returning to school until the end of the day.
Thank you again to our volunteers: Megan C., Bridget N., Sue F., Sreeja J.!!!

Today we began our Buoyancy and Boats unit. The 18 2B Fishermen were called in for a town of Meteghan meeting, where they learned about a horrible winter storm that tragically destroyed all of the boats in the harbor. Since fishing is their livelihood, their challenge over the next two weeks will be to work together to create new boats that will: float, carry a load and propel.
Thank you to all of the parents who sent their recycling to the school! We can't wait to begin building next week!
Reminders:
- Word sort test is tomorrow.
- Return home reading books tomorrow.
- Please complete the swimming permission and level forms.
- Check your email for important information about the Field Trip on Friday.
- School Start orders for school supplies are due June 14.

Today we continued out exploration of double digit addition and subtraction. Students are becoming quite proficient at switching between the two concepts. Way to go!
Please remember to review the basic facts with your child regularly. The curriculum requires that they are able to recall addition and related subtraction facts to 10 by the end of Grade 2.
In science, we complete our Small Crawling and Flying Animals unit by creating Food Chains. We talked about the terms producer, consumer and decomposer and played a fun online game. You can click HERE to access it from home.
There was a buzz among the Grade 2 students, wen a web of spiderlings was discovered in front of our school.

If you have not yet done so, please go online and complete the swimming level form, the swimming permission form and the Miquelon Lake permission form. Everyone with outstanding forms was emailed today.

Congratulations to the 2B Track Stars: Ryder, Nathan and Ethan! I heard you did amazing at the track meet!
The students who remained back at the school were hard at work on creating an insect. Ask your child the name of their insect. They should also be able to tell you about their habitat, whether their insect is helpful or harmful and why.
We also played baseball during our gym class! RBES has the coolest reversible baseball gloves!!!
Reminder: School photo payments are due tomorrow.
