I’m sure you’ve seen the suggested color coded daily schedule circling Facebook in an attempt to keep the kids on a learning path during this shutdown.
In reality, it’s probably more like the one that has a block for “iPad” every other hour. While I’m sure some days will be easier than others — thanks to the good weather we’ve been having — I have pulled together a list of resources you can use to help come up with teachable moments with your kids.
There are a bunch of companies giving away their resources for free this month so use them if you have access!

- FCPS Middle School Learning Plan by Subject
- com online classes
- 12 Museums with online tours
- Adventure Academy for kids 8-13
