Educational resources at your fingertips

Schools are closed, now what? Most schools are coming up with distance learning plans but until then if you want to get some things for your kids in order to keep their minds busy and have some resources on hand we’ve got some ideas below.

Some great educational apps are:
ABC Mouse
Brain Pop
Dragonbox
Science 360
Starfall
Teach Your Monster To Read

I used to be a teacher and I am now I am a private tutor. The books below are tried and true by the students I’ve worked with. I get these workbooks at the end of each school year for my kids to use throughout the summer– so they won’t go unused. I’d recommend choosing the grade your child will be entering in the Fall unless they are struggling currently in their grade in which you could purchase the grade below.
Summer Bridge grades PreK-K
Summer Bridge grades K-1
Summer Bridge grades 1-2
Summer Bridge grades 2-3
Summer Bridge grades 3-4
Summer Bridge grades 4-5
Summer Bridge grades 5-6
Summer Bridge grades 6-7
Summer Bridge grades 7-8

Subscription boxes are great to also have on hand for random days off from school. Our go-to are Kiwi Co boxes.
