As we are all home for an undetermined amount of time, I thought I would try to compile a list of as many websites that I have personally used or that have come across during our time home with kids. Many of these are homeschool websites that you can also use and others will be free only for the time we are required to stay home. Keep in mind that if you are looking for something specific, you can always put the topic and worksheet into google and you will come up with dozens of choices. (ex. Farm animal worksheet, or math borrowing worksheet) If there is a cost, I have tried to list it.
One note, try to keep it fun and interesting. Kids see this as “time off” and they may have some anxiety or fears that could show in a many different ways. Spend time as a family. Try to keep things to a routine and as “normal” as possible.
On a side note, I have been homeschooling my children for the past 18 years, and taught in private Christian schools for 7 years prior to homeschooling. Not to count all the co-op classes that I have taught, and the curriculum store that I owned for several years. If you need help finding resources, let me know and I will try to help you find what you need.
I will try to add more to the list as I see them. Feel free to add some in the comments.
