50+ Resources For Teachers and Families At Home

We are all navigating a new territory, teaching kids from our computers or being at home with kids for a longer period of time. Teachers have been sharing content, social media is full of ideas, and there have been so many free resources circling (which is wonderful!!) However, I think it is easier when all of those links are in one place. Below find over 50 resources (that are FREE right now) to keep learning and having fun during our social distancing!

1.  My kids love Mr. Demaio so I had to include his channel! Great videos on a range of topics.
