We also completed our Witch Feet, which are on display outside of our classroom.

It is hard to believe, because it is only two days before Halloween, but we completed our Christmas Card art today!  The school is doing a fundraiser where you can purchase packages of cards featuring your child's artwork and I am excited to share their creations with you during Parent Teacher Meetings.  

Reminder: 
-Tomorrow is our Halloween Celebration.  Students are asked to come to school dressed in their costumes, as we will be going straight to the Halloween Parade at 8:35.  We will have our class party in the morning and will be taking off our costumes at lunch.  In the afternoon, we are excited to attend the Drummer presentation. 
-Photo orders are due October 30.

Today had a special farewell assembly for a loved member of the RBES family.  In September Mrs. Becker took a new position at the Graminia School and we miss her terribly!  All the best on your new adventure Mrs. Becker; we will miss your stories!!

In Art, we began our Witch Leg project.  We look forward to completing the painting portion be tomorrow.

Math was fun, as we talked about skip counting using coins!  pennies - 1s, nickels - 5s and dimes - 10s.  Students challenged their partner to make the correct amount of change using skip counting.  (46cents - 10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 46 or 38cents - 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 36, 37, 38)  This is a fun activity that can be done at home by using change from your piggy banks.

In Science, we learned the term surface tension.  Students completed an experiment where they challenged themselves to see who could add the most drops of water to a penny.  The highest number of drops was 62 - way to go Emma!!


Reminder: Scholastic Book Orders are due tomorrow.

Congratulations to Nathan, who as the 2B Student of the Week!


In science, we learned the term, viscosity (or thickness of a liquid).  We completed a racing liquids experiment to see which of our four liquids (molasses, dish soap, cooking oil and corn syrup) was most viscous. It did not take long to realize that the molasses was by far the most viscous liquid and that the cooking oil was the least viscous.

Science is so much fun!  Today we explored four mystery liquids.  Students analyzed each liquid's colour, smell, feel, as well as whether it poured and if it was transparent or opaque.  They used the results of this exploration to predict what each liquid was. 


In Math, students played Make 10 Horserace.  This is a twist on a classroom favourite.

This morning we boarded a bus and headed into the city to see The Steadfast Tin Soldier at the Artsbarn.  The students thoroughly enjoyed the story and performance!  


In the afternoon we played a game of Roll for 10.
