It has just been announced where we live that all schools (K – Grade 12), are canceled indefinitely due to COVID-19!
Now… I know what you’re thinking: what am I going to do with my school age children each and every day until…who knows when?
Answer: I’m going to home-school them until classes resume – whenever that is!
I may not do the conventional homeschooling, but each day they will have regular subjects and regular projects just like they would be doing at their normal school. My homeschooling will be a little more unconventional and I look forward to exploring some of the many online educational resources I’ve always seen, but never got around to trying.
In recent days I have been seeing more and more subscription based learning apps and programs offering free sign-ups due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) closing so many schools.
Here is the entire list of educational resources that are offering free subscriptions due to schools closing.
