During Distance Education from March to June 2020, I posted a primary and a junior read-aloud with a choice board of activities.
To comply with copyright laws, I have had to remove the read alouds, but all of the books are available from the Mississauga Public Library. The Choice Board Activities are all still available below.
You can enlarge the view of the choice boards by hovering your mouse over the it and clicking on the expansion icon (a grey box with an arrow pointing to the upper left corner).

Thirteen-year-old Quinn and her friends can't believe their luck when spring break is extended an extra two weeks—even if it's because of some virus. But when the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic becomes apparent, everyone, not just the students, has to learn to adjust to their new reality. Quinn’s father is an ER doctor and has to self-isolate to protect his family from the virus. Isaac’s mother is the chief of police and now has to enforce new physical-distancing bylaws. Reese can’t visit her grandmother in her care home anymore. And their entire school has moved to online classes. Sacrifices have to be made to keep everyone safe, but there’s more to life than rules and scary news reports. In an effort to find some good in all this uncertainty, Quinn comes up with an idea that she hopes will bring the entire community together.
