Weekend Journal

For this Weekend Journal you will need to think creatively. We have used the Scholastic Story Scrambler to come up with the criteria for your story. You will need to create a non-fiction story with the following information:

Your story is a MYSTERY about a STINKY KNIGHT who HATES WEARING SOCKS.

Have fun with it, be descriptive, and be creative! Remember, all good stories have at least one problem that the characters have to solve.

If you are feeling adventurous you can use the link below to come up with criteria for another story. This is a great way to practice writing about topics and themes that you normally wouldn't choose. This will help you become a better writer!

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.

NEW Field Trip Forms - oops!

We discovered a printing error on the field trip forms that were sent home on Thursday, so we re-printed and sent new forms home today. Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?

Ms. Hansen

Hi room 5 and 6 families, This is an update to let you all know that Ms. Hansen's leave has been extended to May 25. She wanted you to know that she's doing well, and misses you all. We'll continue as we have been with Ms. Stride, Mr. Row and myself working with room 6 students and families. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you
