Weekend Journal Prompt

If you were the Prime Minister of Canada, describe one thing you would change. Give at least three reasons why you would make this change.

Remember to: 

  • Write the date at the top.
  • Start writing from the margin on each line (the margin is the red line that runs from the top to the bottom of the page).
  • Write with as much detail as possible.
  • Use your neatest writing.
  • Reread what you have written and self-edit your work (look for spelling, uppercase letters in the right spot, and punctuation.). 
  • When you're reading your work, as yourself, "does what I wrote make sense?". If it doesn't make sense, then see if you can change it so that it makes sense.
  • Try to write at least one full page.

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):
