FREE HOMESCHOOLING ONLINE
Hey guys, if you’re like me, you are suddenly finding yourself stepping into the role of teacher.
Because of this new Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak and the social distancing and quarantines, you’re probably, like us, home inside your home 95% of the time just trying to figure out how in the world you’re going to keep up on your kids schooling, keep the little jumping beans entertained and how to spare yourself from hearing “I’m bored” thousands of times!
In our house, when my kids even utter the words “I’m bored” they usually find themselves holding a broom, dust pan, a rag or a toilet brush. #cleanhouse anyone?
Anyway, I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to keep my kids somewhat on track. As for now, our schools haven’t released any kind of curriculum or program as of yet. Perhaps we will resume school as usual in a few weeks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if schools stay closed for many weeks or even until next year.
For this reason, I’ve been compiling a list of free online resources and, because I love you guys and want to make your life easier, I’m organizing that list to give to you! Yay!
Before we dive in, here’s a thought I’ve been having during this crisis. I mean… I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit worried about wiping my kids (and my own) keister here in the near future.
However, if we have to have a global virus sweep into our lives, what a time to have it happen… when we have unlimited online resources, entertainment, ways to keep in touch with family and friends via the internet and more!
In an upcoming blog post, I’m going to compile a list of ways to keep in contact with people you love! Some ideas are online story time, online talent shows or online puppet shows.
Again, I’ll put out some ideas really soon.
My point is, in the midst of some very horrible things going on, we have the ability to band together, love each other, slow down and help our neighbors, friends and family and become creative with how we lift others!
So, this is one of my ways of trying to help and lift you! So, here we go!
