Upcoming items for May 11-15

Good morning room 5 and 6 families,

Thank you all for another productive week! Our Google Classrooms are starting to come to life, and we're seeing more faces in our Google Meet sessions, which is great.

Here are some items for next week.

Teacher Caravan
Our teacher caravan will happen Wednesday May 13, starting at about 6:00pm. We will be sending out more information early next week. We hope to see you there!

Submitting Student Work
On Monday we will be providing students with a Google Doc that can be used to submit work through Google Classroom. We are asking students to submit their work once per week (ideally Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). This is to help teachers keep a handle on incoming student work and to cut down on the volume of emails we are receiving and trying to keep track of. We will send out further information on Monday, so please read this carefully prior to submitting any work.


Once again, we'd like to thank everyone for their patience, enthusiasm and support. This is a difficult time for everyone, and we are so grateful for our community and how gracious everyone has been during this time. Please continue to email us with any questions or concerns. Most importantly, take care of yourselves and your families. School is important, but it should never come before social and emotional wellbeing. Do what you can to support your children's school work, and find what works for your family during this time. It might not feel like it all the time right now, but you're all doing an amazing job. :)

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.

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):

Home Reading Questions

Dear students and families, Many of you have asked for questions to ask students when they read books at home. Thinking about such questions helps students better understand the books they read. Here are some examples:
