For as long as we can remember, we’ve known the daily routine of packing our kids lunch boxes, getting them ready for the bus, and sending them off to school to be cared for under the guidance of everyday superheroes. Yes, we’re talking about teachers.
COVID-19 has given us powerful and personal reminder of how extraordinary teachers are. Who would’ve thought that we’d be trading in our schedule of business meetings for midday field trips to the backyard, home science projects, and helping our kids learn algebra? With schools being closed around the country, kids and parents alike have had to adapt, learn, and grow in new ways.
The Plenty of Coronacare community has crowdsourced their favorite educational resources for their kiddos during these times and we hope they help you embrace your own inner teacher.
