Covid 19 - Cornavirus

We are living in the middle of a historic moment in time.  Many people will talk about the outbreak of 2020 and we are living it! 

Some of us remember H1N1 and many other outbreaks...nothing has shut down schools and businesses like this one.

What are parents supposed to do for 14 days with their children?  How can learning continue?

Some schools offered online platforms...others sent home packets of worksheets...others are still figuring it out for Monday.

Many websites are offering free trials and their are lists upon lists of ideas out there on mom groups, social media sites, and other blogs.

Where do we start?   Honestly, I do not know!  Today has just been a day to rest and relax.  I plan to to go "live" on Facebook for story time a few times over the shut down with my students and families. 

Let me start with a few websites that were free or a freemium type site before and after this event:

Story Time from Space
Quiver - Augmented Reality
Google Sky  or Google Earth
Stellarium (constellations)
Wonderopolis

Find a topic that your child loves and try a new website!

If you want more up - to - date information - go to John Hopkins map

Classroom pets are home as well for 2  weeks!
