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.

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.
