It’s been a crazy week around here, hasn’t it? I don’t know if you are feeling it yet or not, but supplies are flying off the shelves and many people are panicking in my area. While there isn’t much I can do to help calm anyone’s fears, I wanted to put together a list of learning resources we’ve used in our homeschool (and that I think are awesome for anyone to use). If your schools have shut down in the midst of the COVID-19 illness, here are some of our favorite websites to help keep your kids learning & busy.
