Schools may be closed due to COVID-19. But learning doesn’t have stop. Here are some activities to engage your children that require limited supplies (and often limited supervision). All you need is online access.

Learning about the Ohio zoo’s animals every weekday at 3 pm EST on Facebook Live beginning Monday, March 16. The first show will feature its hippo, Fiona.
Discovery Virtual Field Trips
Visit the frozen tundra to learn about polar bears or visit a science lab. There are so many different field trips to choose from on Discovery Education’s website ranging from health to agriculture to science to STEM to sports!
McHarper Manor Art Classes

Storyline
Reading is fundamental. What makes it even more fun is seeing some of our favorite entertainers read children’s books to them. My girls will spend hours on this site!
Virtual Museum Tours
Explore art museums from around the world without leaving your home. Travel & Leisure has put together a list of 12 museums currently offering virtual tours.
These are just a few of my favorite at-home learning finds so far. I’ll update this list as I come across more. But please leave a message and let me know how you are keeping your children busy.
Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
Thank you.
