Here’s a round up of some resources that are helpful for supporting virtual learning. We all need as much help as we can get for the 2020/2021 school year, amiright? When I wrote most of these, it was back in March when we all thought everyone would be quarantining for two weeks. Remember those days? It feels like a lifetime ago. We had no idea we’d be starting a whole new school year either virtually or hybrid.
On the list here are various free printables, fun online field trips, easy arts and crafts ideas, and soothing essential oils blends. I’ll continue to add to this post as I find more. Hope this is helpful! If there’s anything you feel should be added to the list, please let me know!

Free printable: taco themed classroom activity
I don’t get the chance to volunteer very often at school, but when I do, I love anything where I get to do some kind of arts and crafts with the kids (or reading to them, but that’s for another post). In the past, I’ve had the kids create stained glass (aka tissue paper) Read more…
