Google Classroom

Hi everyone,

Taradale School teachers are working to set up Google Classrooms. Google Classroom is a platform that will allow us to interact with students, post learning tasks, and a space where students will be able to turn in their work to teachers for feedback.

Google Classrooms for room 5 and 6 have been set up, and invitations have been sent to all students. Students need to accept that invitation in order to gain access to the Google Classroom. Invitations were sent to each student' email address ending in @educbe.ca . If you have not received an invitation, or you cannot find it, please let me know.

I am hoping to start using Google Classroom with students next week. From there we can start to organize Google Meet sessions for classroom/group discussions. Google Meet is a group video chat function.

For now, I'm asking students to accept the Google Classroom invitation. If you can do that this week, then we should be in a position to start using Google Classroom next week.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

-Mr. Duncan

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.
