Weekend Journal

There is NO SCHOOL on Monday November 11.

We are collecting non-perishable food items for the Veteran's Food Drive. Please bring to help those who fought for our lives in Canada.

With the weather getting colder, it is important to remember that children should be coming to school properly dressed for the weather. Everyone should be wearing a warm jacket, gloves, toque, snow pants and boots. Please ensure your children are leaving the house dressed for the weather. It is CBE policy that kids go outside until the windchill drops to -18 degrees.

Please remember that your goal each day is to read for at least 30 minutes.

And here is your Weekend Journal Prompt:

What are some ways you, as an 8 or 9 year old child, can make change in the world? Think of realistic things you could start doing TODAY to make a difference.

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):
