Homeschooling Resources
It’s been hard for children (and us parents as well) to be missing school. THe COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the way we live. My son has been having Digital Learning classes since his school closed on March 16th. We are currently on Spring Break, but he’s got 2 more weeks of Digital Learning at a minimum. At this rate, I won’t be surprised if they don’t return to school this year. It’s been a challenge to adjust to homeschooling when I’ve never had to in the past.
I wanted to share resources that may help better navigate homeschooling. Usborne Books & More has books and activity packs for babies through to teens. They also have books that even adults enjoy!
