Many of you found the academic activities I shared to be helpful, so I have compiled some more. I know doing the same thing can get boring and variety is key...especially if we are out of school for much longer than originally planned. 😒
* This is a set of free printable maker station (STEM) activities. You will want to scroll through and probably just print the ones that appeal to your kids. I do like that there are QR codes for each activity with additional resources.
* Check out this list of online field trips and even more online field trips! Kids really enjoy these. Just make sure there's a writing component involved so that they aren't just clicking and scrolling! Have them write in a journal about what they learned. For older kids, you will want to move them past the "fact listing" and have them write about how they can use the information they learned or how it applies to something else they already knew.
* I share this one with caution. When I see a big "click and print" packet of worksheets, I cringe. There's bound to be a bunch of junk in there that isn't really useful, and half of it won't get done anyway. Choose your child's grade level and scroll through the pages to see what will actually be beneficial for your child. I did find some helpful activities for both of my kids, but I only printed out a few of the 30+ pages each for reading and math! Please don't kill a bunch of trees and worksheet your kids to death.
* The Cincinnati Zoo is offering daily Home Safaris on Facebook Live at 3 p.m. They will highlight one of their animals and include an activity kids can do from home. Check them out on Facebook here.
* Starting on Monday, March 16, Science Mom and Math Dad will host a daily show called "Qarantime" at 11:00 a.m. (EST) featuring science and math lessons, crafts, and games.

* Dr. Binoc's Show on You Tube has lots of educational videos for older kids, as well as nursery rhymes and learning videos for little ones.
* Mystery Science is offering a collection of science lessons and activities for k-5 students. These are separated by grade level and the topics are high interest. Many have written activities to accompany them.
