Student Engagement with Library Choice Boards

Our FISW students might not be able to visit our physical library, but that hasn't stop them from reading, building, making, discovering and researching. Students have explored a variety of books and activities through our Library Choice Boards


Students shared their explorations through SeeSaw responses and in small breakout groups in Zoom meetings. Some highlights were solving Breakout Edu riddles, building digital structures and sharing Jigsaw explorer puzzles.


In response to reading and listening to stories, some students wrote messages explaining their reactions and others drew pictures. Sing along videos by Emily Arrow were also a favourite.


Many students took on building projects inspired by the Lego.edu challenges and virtual block builder. Several students also wrote or recorded audio stories connected to their buildings.


Snowflake building and snowman drawing tutorials were also popular with our artists. Paper drawings and cuttings were shared as well as digital art.



Remember, readers and makers, you can revisit the Library Choice Boards any time. Looking forward to more choice time together in the weeks to come.

Library Choice Boards for Distance Learning

Happy New Year to our FISW community! We are back today in Distance Learning mode - but that won't stop your library from reaching out to you! When you visit our FISW Library you read, build, make, play and research. At home or at school!

Here are our Library Choice Boards for January 2021. Click on the boards below to open and then click directly on the images to visit the various links.

The choice boards have been shared with all of our Elementary Students on SeeSaw and our Middle School students through Google Classroom. Use the choices to read, listen, take brain brakes and spark your creativity during DLP.
