We enjoyed indoor and outdoor learning and discussion along our Storytime Trail thinking about Trampoline Boy by Nan Forler!

The value the Storytime Trail brings to a school community can be endless. The students have a chance to connect to the outdoors while connections with science, mathematics, equity, inclusion and social-emotional learning.

The trails spark meaningful discussion, they come equipped with incredibly rich and diverse teacher lesson plans so that our students, and educators, get the most out of this outdoor reading experience.

When we’ve had to get creative with our learning experiences during the pandemic, Storytime Trail has been a welcomed and refreshing approach.

Let your fingers do the walking through these stories by Canadian authors.
