Elementary School Resources
There is a wide range of excitement, curiosity and skill level in our elementary grades. That is why this age group can really excel and enjoy this new and different way of learning! While distance learning presents its own set of challenges, it can also be a time to engage in new and exciting ways. Heading outdoors for a science lesson with a nature scavenger hunt or cooking and experimenting with ingredients for example. Below we’ve compiled a list of resources to help you set a routine at home or to change up your current routine!
