Field TrIp, Terry Fox, & Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day is Monday September 30. Across the CBE and Canada, people will wear orange to remember the painful legacy of residential schools. It also reminds us of the strength it takes to overcome. Join us by wearing any orange you have!

Terry Fox Run is Friday September 27. Please come dress to run/walk. Also, we will be collecting money to donate to Terry Fox for cancer research. Last year we passed our goal, raising over $1500! This year, our school goal is $1600. Please bring your donations and toonies for Terry!

Grade 3/4 is going to the dump! We will be learning what the City of Calgary does with our waste, recycling, and composting. We are scheduled to go on Wednesday October 9. Permission notices will be sent home as soon as we are able to. We are in need of parent volunteers! If you have your police clearance, and are free to join us, please send a note, or email Mr. Duncan or Ms. Hansen to let us know! Thank you in advance :)

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

Veteran's Food Bank and Remembrance Day

Our Remembrance Day ceremony is on Friday November 8. We will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items for the Veteran's Food Bank. This is a great way to honour those who fought for us, and support people in our city who are in need. Here are some examples of non-perishable food items:

Weekend Journal and Math Word Problem

Hi everyone, Remember to read this weekend for at least 30 minutes each day.  If you have any Five Minute Fury pages that you haven't completed, please do that over the weekend for some additional multiplication practice. Check the links in the blog menu for the time math practice. Set the timer, grade 3 students are working up to 5 x 5, and grade 4 students are working up to 7 x 7. If that's too easy for you, feel free to challenge yourself with larger single digit numbers. Remember to use the strategies we've been discussing and practicing in class.
