Times are changing dramatically due to the recent pandemic. I know a lot of parents are now at home with their kids trying to not only entertain them but teach them with schools being closed for the rest of the school year. It’s difficult trying to come up with creative ways to teach at the same time also keep their attention, so I found some resources online that I thought were fun, entertaining, and educational. And the best part, they’re also FREE!
