Good morning everyone!

There are a few updates on at home learning for this week.

At Home Learning Package April 27 to May 1
The at home learning package for April 27 to May 1 is now available on the Taradale School website. It can be accessed here:

http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/taradale/about-us/news-centre/_layouts/ci/post.aspx?oaid=15d9405b-046b-4f23-a234-4a47feda805f&oact=20001

Students can access at home learning either through the PDF link, or using their CBE Google account, they can use the Google Slide link. Both of these options are available via the link above.

At home learning has also been posted on the Room 5 and 6 Google Classroom pages.

Google Classroom
Starting this week, we will begin trying to use the Google Classroom platform. I will be posting a daily read aloud video (The One and Only Ivan), setting up weekly Google Meet sessions, and working to have students use Google Classroom to submit any work they do at home.

If you have not accepted the Google Classroom invitation, please do so.

Google Meet
Google Meet is a platform that allows group video chats. It can be accessed through your Google account menu. I will be sending out a Google Meet Schedule for this week later today.

Raz Kids
Room 5 has been set up with Raz Kids accounts, and this week we will get Room 6 set up. Raz Kids is an online leveled reading program. Ms. Stride and I will be setting up room 6 today, so please be on the lookout for login information.


We understand that there is a lot going on for everyone right now and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. As we've said before, please do what is manageable for your family.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

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.

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?

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...
