Saving Your Sanity: Websites help kids learn, create, move and chill

So. You're self-quarantining, hunkered down at home. If you're lucky, you're able to continue your job from there; perhaps your spouse is, as well. And along with juggling conference calls, learning how to use the Zoom app and trying to get some meaningful work done, you've got kids to keep occupied, too. It's a lot. We've rounded up some links that might make this new world we all find ourselves in a little bit easier for families sheltering in place.

Before most school systems closed, students were given alternative methods of instruction packets -- worksheets from their teachers meant to keep them on track.

These educational links might offer your child a more appealing way to learn something new.
