The TDSB virtual library is an amazing tool to help support student learning around global competencies and inquiry. Our K-6 learners and school community have access to databases, encyclopedias, ebooks, videos, web sources and so much more! The TDSB Virtual Library Learnmarks that include passwords to access all of these amazing tools are provided to the school community (students and educators) so that they can also be explored and exploited outside of school. To view the learnmarks to access all that the TDSB virtual library has to offer, select the orange passwords and info tab at the top of the TDSB virtual library page. This tab will direct TDSB staff, students, and community members to the passwords and information needed to access all the tools and resources available to us.

MY LIBRARY has a "what's happening?" page (but that will all be posted here on our school's LLC website!); an "our learning" page with LOTS of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities; a "be inspired" page (whether it is a book suggestion or a cool Ted talk), there are many things to do, watch or read!; and lastly, an "our community" page with links to museums, galleries and clubs!
INQUIRY supports teachers with inquiry based teaching approaches and ideas, as well as provides tools to help students properly cite their sources for their various projects/work (e.g.: you quote it you note it).
