Please Return Field Trip Forms!

We sent a yellow parent letter and itinerary home today about our October 9 trip to the Shepherd Landfill. Students also have a white Acknowledgement of Risk form - please sign and return the white form as soon as possible!

The field trip is $7.00 - you can send exact cash, a cheque, or pay in the school office. For more information about cost, please see the yellow letter.

We are in need of parent volunteers. In order to volunteer, you must already have your police security clearance. Please let Ms. Hansen or Mr. Duncan know if you are available to join us!

Tomorrow is Terry Fox Run. Please bring any donations you can. Our school goal is $1600. Thanks so much!

We are seeing a big change in Calgary's weather. Please ensure you are keeping up to date on weather forecasts, and that students are coming to school dressed to go outside.

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.

Math Games - Roll an Array

Roll An Array: 1. Each person chooses a colour to colour their array. 2. Roll twice dice, for example 3 and 4. 3. Colour in the array for either 3x4 or 4x3, wherever you want to place it. 4. Take turns rolling and colouring your arrays. As space runs out, you will only be able to colour arrays for space that is left. If you roll and array and their is not enough space, pass your turn. 5. You are done when all squares are coloured. Thanks to Sonia and Vamika for their picture! Here is an example of a completed game (thanks for Japneek and Prajna):

Home Reading Questions

Dear students and families, Many of you have asked for questions to ask students when they read books at home. Thinking about such questions helps students better understand the books they read. Here are some examples:
