It is safe to say we have entered into uncharted, completely unfamiliar, and unprecedented territories. We can not replicate or duplicate the work that is done every day in classrooms. My hope is to be able to provide students with some work that will allow them to stay connected to school and engaged with the content. What follows are simply suggestions and by no means an exhaustive list. It has been culled from various resources and for full transparency not completely vetted. There is something here for all age groups and subject areas.
Teachers, if you need an administrator to sign the district up for any of these resources please let me know. I will be updating this page on a regular basis. Updates will be in red (last updated 4(M 3/20/2020)
