My first thought when I heard that they were closing schools was, "How are those children that get free lunch going to eat?" Thankfully, my school district is still passing out lunches. I would still go and deliver peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if that is what needed to be done. My next thought was, "How are we going to educate our children?" My son gets IEP and so this was a major concern whether he was going to get behind or not. Thankfully I have resources like ABCmouse and RevolutionMath, but not everyone is so lucky.
I came across this list from Amazing Educational Resources Facebook Group so I thought I would share here as well so more people can find it. I do encourage you to follow that group for more. Just click on each link below to find out how to access their free program.

If you know of any resources, then please leave a link in the comments below. I hope this is helpful. Our school is sending out resources online for my daughter and videos for my son. This isn't a normal situation for many, but we will be getting a taste of homeschooling for sure. For those of you inexperienced in that area, a schedule is what works best. Here are some schedules I have found online below.

Remember we are all in this together! We can get through this. Kindness will go a long way.
This is really useful. ESPECIALLY right now!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You really did your homework finding all of these resources and making up schedules for all children to use - not just your children!! This is really a very generous gesture!! We really don’t know how long this pandemic will last! These poor kids are trying to hang in there without really understanding what is going on! I’ve already pinned this and I’m also going to share on other Social Media websites too! Thank you so much for sharing! You are right! We are all in this together!!
