Weekend homeschool links

Wow, thank you all for sharing Tuesday’s post on “Homeschooling during coronavirus” with your friends! It’s received over 46,000 Facebook shares since then, and I got SO much grateful feedback from sudden homeschoolers worldwide–see the buttons at the bottom of the post if you’d still like to share! Our community provided a bit of light to parents trying to find their way, so special. xo

Featured Sponsors:If you’re beginning to feel a little stir crazy with the kids (or if you want to prevent that feeling!), go ahead and download one of Be Naturally Curious’s super-inexpensive mini-courses for Grades K-5!

Created by scientists and nature lovers, I love how they cover complex concepts in fun ways: stories, games, easy experiments, outdoor play, and more. Choose from over a dozen different topics!

2020 is the perfect time to invest in Election Night!, the board game that uses play to teach ages 8 and up about the Electoral College! I felt like I learned so much as I played with my teens, and I loved how it combines math practice with civics and geography.

Perhaps over the next few weeks we might all have a little more game-playing time on our hands? Order yours here!
