Our kids will be home for at least the next few weeks because of COVID-19. Teachers had to prepare quickly for school closures, and we have limited work coming from school, at least for now.
But that doesn't mean I want my kids to spend their days on their electronic devices and watching YouTube videos.
I want them to keep learning.
So I rounded up some educational resources that kids of all ages could use at home. I was impressed with some of the great online programs I found, as well as some awesome printable websites!
Many of these sites contain mostly worksheets. For well-rounded online lessons and interactive activities organized by grade level, you can also start with iXL and Khan Academy.
