Sidney Elementary School

Virtual Learning Commons


Welcome to the Sidney Elementary Virtual Learning Commons!  Whether you're at home or at school, we want to connect you with stories and books that will inspire your imagination, make you laugh, and get you thinking. You’ll also find links to other reading-related activities that you can explore.

Do you have a favourite story you’d like us to read aloud, or an idea you’d like to share with us?  Are you looking for a book or information on a certain topic?  We’d love to help you find it. You can even just send us an e-mail or video to say hello, and we’ll send you back a special message!

Keep checking back for new stories and ideas.  Let’s stay connected and have fun sharing books together!
