At Home Learning for April 20-24

Good morning everyone,

I hope you've all had a safe and happy weekend! The warmer weather has definitely got me feeling better.

At home learning for April 20-24 is now life on the Taradale School website. It can be accessed here:

Thank you to everyone who made contact last week and to students who forwarded me their work.

Just a reminder that students should try to engage in this work for approximately an hour each day. How you schedule that hour is up to your family. Please do what works best for you.

Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.

Have a great week, everyone!

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.

Field Trip Notes and Reminders

Reminders for Thursday's field trip Students Please arrive at the normal time. The bus will depart at 9:00am, so we'd like to be ready well before that. It will take some time to get everyone's skates on when we get there, so if we can get going earlier, that would be great. Students should have: Winter jacket; Snow pants (or a spare pair of pants to change into after skating); Thick gloves (to keep hands warm and dry, and also to protect hands while on the ice); Backpack (big enough to hold lunch, snack, water, jacket, snow pants and gloves); Lunch (nothing that requires heating); Snack; and Water bottle. We recommend layering. Hoodies and sweatshirts are great options for under jackets. Students who have their own skates CAN bring them if they choose. Please make sure their name is written clearly on their skate. Please DO NOT bring your own helmet. WinSport has strict guidelines as to what type of helmets can be worn, so it's easier for everyon...
