March Break is on deck and I don’t know about where you are, but school has been cancelled for two weeks after to act as a buffer zone. With COVID-19 running around, the government wants precautions taken to ensure any transmission is kept to minimums. To that end, I know that parents are looking for ways to keep their children busy during this extended break. I hope to be helpful by listing some extra resources that companies are offering to help during this time.
Amazing Educational Resources has put together database to help keep these companies organized.
My favourite resources from this list are
- Curriki which has lessons for k-12, some of which looks fascinating.
- DeltaMath which I haven’t fully explored but intrigues me.
- Computer Science Academy is one that I sent to my son to explore. He’s quite interested in learning computer sciences so I’m hoping this will be something he’ll work on.
- CK-12. We’ve used some of their textbooks before, it’s nice to see they have a website as well.
- ChemMatters. We’ll make good use of this site in another year or two.

The biggest thing though, with this extra time off from school. It’s Great to have extra resources to offer your children to keep them busy. The best thing though, give them you and your time. Read together, watch movies, give your house a thorough spring clean, do whatever you need to. Just make memories, spend time together, and enjoy the break from the rush of life.

Thank you Lori. 🙂
Great ideas, so many good resources available right now.
i know, many companies are being very kind.
Very great list and a fantastic choice for the letter X! I love the materials from Twinkl that are part of some of the SchoolhouseTeachers.com courses.
some good materials in this mix. I tried a couple of the math ones.. and as much as I like math one I gave up on.
