Coffee Morning Wed. Jan. 26th

Next week we will have a Coffee Morning to address 4 major questions about learning in the continuing pandemic. 

  • Why is my child's timing reduced?
  • Why doesn't my child the teacher for every minute of every lesson?
  • How do we access resources and books for supporting online learning?
  • How can I help my child "catch up" after sickness or travel?

Online/F2F Learning Resources

What is an Explore Board?

The purpose of an Explore Board Is to create a board of learning choices that help students develop background knowledge that fuels comprehension. It is meant to be a before activity. It is filled with links to a set of different forms of media surrounding a common topic, theme, or issue.

Click below for:



Explore Board’s are designed with this in mind:

  • Curated and packaged high-interest content for students
  • Helps to build and foster curiosity before a unit
  • Builds background knowledge to deepen comprehension
  • Extends lessons with more resources - that students can go back and look at as the reading unfolds.
  • Prepares students for class lessons

How is an Explore Board different from a Choice Board? Simple.

​A choice board is used to give students choice in how they respond to a prompt or project. It is used for giving students a choice in how they show learning. It's an "outro" activity.

An Explore board, on the other hand. is an "intro" activity - meant to help get students the background knowledge they need that will help them understand concepts and ideas better. It can also be used as a resource as they progress in the learning unit.
