Homeschooling
“Across the United States, parents are settling into the idea that the current coronavirus outbreak will require many to take over for teachers and child care providers into the foreseeable future.
With schools across the country closed and unlikely to reopen soon, families are gathering teaching materials, setting up schedules, and looking for ways to keep kids engaged…
Take comfort in knowing that school-based lessons rarely go perfectly even for professional teachers.” (From New York Times, “How to Home School During Coronavirus,” March 20, 2020)
The resources below can help you and your family meet the many challenges of homeschooling during this stressful time.
