Happy Friday!

Good morning room 5/6 family!

Another week is winding down, and the sun is shining. Thank you again to students and families for connecting with me this week. Please keep asking questions if you are unsure of anything, and I will do my best to answer questions and clarify for you.

On Monday the week's at home learning will be available. I am also hoping to begin using the Google Classroom platform and Google Meet platforms. Next week will be a chance for us to slowly explore both platforms together. I will have further information for families on Monday.

Finally, I'd like to wish our Muslim friends Ramadan Mubarak. Being kind and taking care of those who are vulnerable in our community is something that we can all do, especially during these strange times. Enjoy the time with your families, and stay safe.

Have a great weekend, 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.

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.
