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:

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.

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):
