Connecting with families via phone or email

Hi everyone,

It's been great connecting with families either over the phone or through email. At this stage Ms. Stride and I have contacted all families. There are still a handful of families who we have not been able to make contact with. If you are one of those families, please check your email (parent email). Every family was emailed on Sunday April 5, by me. If you haven't been in contact with either myself or Ms. Stride, please respond to that email as soon as possible.

I want to thank everyone for their patience during this time. Taradale School teachers and staff are working to connect with families, while also planning for ongoing learning. As mentioned in emails and phone calls, our hope is to have ongoing learning ready to send home for Monday April 13. We will be in touch with families as soon as we have more information.

Again, if you have not been in contact with either myself, or Ms. Stride by phone or email, please let me know. I can be reached at: klduncan@cbe.ab.ca

Thanks again 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.

Math Games - Roll an Array

Roll An Array: 1. Each person chooses a colour to colour their array. 2. Roll twice dice, for example 3 and 4. 3. Colour in the array for either 3x4 or 4x3, wherever you want to place it. 4. Take turns rolling and colouring your arrays. As space runs out, you will only be able to colour arrays for space that is left. If you roll and array and their is not enough space, pass your turn. 5. You are done when all squares are coloured. Thanks to Sonia and Vamika for their picture! Here is an example of a completed game (thanks for Japneek and Prajna):
