Field Trip

Rooms 5 and 6 had a great day at WinSport and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday.

For many students it was their first time ice skating. Despite nerves, everyone did an amazing job! It was a joy to see so much determination and resilience. Students went from swimming on the ice, to standing, balancing, gliding and turning. Everyone was smiling, laughing and cheering each other on.

Canada's Sports Hall of Fame is an amazing museum celebrating athletic achievements in Canada. Students were able to see artifacts and have some of Canada's greatest sporting achievements explained to them by our amazing guides.

There has been a great deal of interest in ice skating from students. Over the next week we will be putting together an information package for families who are interested in finding places to skate closer to home. As soon as it's prepared, we ill post it on the blog!

A giant THANK YOU to our parent volunteers on the day. It wouldn't have been possible without you and it is very much appreciated.

THANK YOU to all the students of rooms 5 and 6 for representing themselves and Taradale School so well. Staff at WinSport and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame complimented your manners, enthusiam, and the respect you showed for the facility, equipment, staff, and each other. You should all be proud of yourselves.

Thank you for a great day!

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.
