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.

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:
