Education Resources General/Multiple Subjects
First and foremost, we want to remind all parents to carefully limit the amount of time your children spend watching screens–whether they be television screens, laptop screens, tablets or phones. Please heed the research that you can find described here.
Hands-on activities, puzzles, books and outdoor play are always excellent choices. There may be times during the day, however, when a screen-based activity may make sense. We will add additional high-quality, free resources as we find them. Please feel free to send along your suggestions by using the button we provide below.
