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!!

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!
