Happy Friday!

Good morning everyone,

As our first week of at home learning comes to an end, I want to thank everyone (students and parents) for their patience and they're willingness to connect. These are very unusual times, but they're made much more manageable by having a supportive classroom and school community.

Next weeks at home learning package will be available on Monday morning. I will post links on the blog and on the Google Classroom pages. If you have any trouble accessing it, please let me know.

Students, please remember to check your email and if you haven't already, accept the invitation to join Google Classroom. I know some students have been interacting on it already, and in the coming weeks I hope to make it a big part of our at home learning.

Again if you have any questions, please email me. Students, if you just want to chat, please email me. While I'm working from home, the best part of my days have been connecting with students.

Have a safe and happy weekend, everyone!

-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.

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):
