As we mark a year of navigating education during the pandemic, we know how hard parents, teachers, and caregivers have been working to support kids with virtual, in-person, and hybrid learning.
Although the journey has been challenging, caregivers, educators, and students alike have shown a lot of resilience in their dedication to accelerate learning. This has also created the opportunity to engage children in new ways with digital resources as they attend school in a variety of settings.
To help kids continue to learn and grow, we’ve gathered a collection of fun and free resources that were designed for instruction both at home and in the classroom:
