If you are accessing the at home learning using the PDF copy, please note that links may not work. You will have to copy and paste the link into your browser.

At home learning will also be linked to Google Classroom.

Google Meet sessions for this week will be:

  • Tuesday May 5, 1:45 to 2:15
  • Friday May 8, 1:45 to 2:15

A reminder that in order to attend Google Meet sessions, students must accept their invitation to Google Classroom. Invitations have been sent to student's CBE email address.

Student Belongings
I have had some questions about families picking up students personal belongings from school. At this stage we have not been given instructions for how or when this will happen. As soon as I know, I will communicate the plan to families.

Reminder
A reminder that student school work is not due at any specific time. Students are welcome to submit work to me via Google Drive (student's accessing at home learning via Google Classroom can type their work into the at home learning document and share it with me), or by taking a picture and emailing it to me. We really want families to focus on their own wellness and finding what works for them. The goal with at home learning is to engage students and maintain their mindset of learning while schools are closed.  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.

NEW Field Trip Forms - oops!

We discovered a printing error on the field trip forms that were sent home on Thursday, so we re-printed and sent new forms home today. Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?

Field Trip Notes and Reminders

Reminders for Thursday's field trip Students Please arrive at the normal time. The bus will depart at 9:00am, so we'd like to be ready well before that. It will take some time to get everyone's skates on when we get there, so if we can get going earlier, that would be great. Students should have: Winter jacket; Snow pants (or a spare pair of pants to change into after skating); Thick gloves (to keep hands warm and dry, and also to protect hands while on the ice); Backpack (big enough to hold lunch, snack, water, jacket, snow pants and gloves); Lunch (nothing that requires heating); Snack; and  Water bottle. We recommend layering. Hoodies and sweatshirts are great options for under jackets. Students who have their own skates CAN bring them if they choose. Please make sure their name is written clearly on their skate. Please DO NOT bring your own helmet. WinSport has strict guidelines as to what type of helmets can be worn, so it's easier for everyon...
