The kids are at home for at least the next few weeks, and I’m so grateful that our school district sent out some resources and lesson plans over the weekend. I wanted to share some of the sites from that list as well as places my co-workers, friends and family have been sharing among ourselves.
If you have elementary age kids, I hope you find this list helpful:
Educational Sites

Scholastic – free learning activities and lessons, divided by grade bands
Thinkery – hands on Science activities
Duolingo – learn a new language
Tynker – coding for kids

Khan Academy – start with their online schedules for Parents – such a great resource
Pinna – ad-free audio streaming service, can get first 60 days free, a lot of our favorite podcasts are here
