A collection of groups and articles to inspire and support
- ONE DAY MORE: ONE FAMILY SINGS QUARANTINE
- MELODIES FOR HEALTH - ALLISON DAVIES
- PUSH PAST IT A Facebook group that is filled right now with positive emotional support for families. The title of the group is "Push Past It! A Positive Approach to Challenging classroom Management" but for now that classroom management is in the home, and so the support for homeschooling parents is the focus.
- EVEN THE DOG IS GOING STIR-CRAZY THE HOLDERNESS FAMILY
- Middle School Teachers Helping Parents Navigate At-Home Learning If you're feeling overwhelmed with your middle schooler's at-home learning, you're not alone. Jamie, Kimberly & Sherri have a combined total of more than 60 years of teaching experience. We still love A.The.Things about teaching & learning, and we want to help families who are suddenly finding themselves responsible for helping their 'tweens & teens with at-home learning.
- "THIS IS A LOT" This article by Jennifer Bradley, featured in Beyond the Spotlight, was written for teachers, but applies equally to parents taking on the role of teacher.
One of my favorite lines - "Keep them learning? In the midst of a pandemic?" It reminds me that yes, we want our children to learn and continue to develop their academic skills. But, how important to remember that growing and learning happens everywhere, not just in Google Drive and on printable worksheets.
"Because human development isn't tied to schooling. We are all learning all the time. And right now? Humans are learning so much, and we are learning all under duress at warp speed."
Whatever we do to help ourselves and to help our children cope and live joyfully - perhaps under lockdown - is learning for now. Stay safe, stay loving, stay learning joyfully.
- 10 WAYS TO EASER YOUR CORONAVIRUS ANXIETY We won't need this article eventually. But for now, it's helpful to hear ideas for successfully coping. As parents, we need to put our oxygen masks on first! (It was a bit tricky, but I was able to get FREE access to the article. I think I'll try to afford subscribing, though, because I appreciate news and articles like this even more in these times.)

- National Park Service Entrance Fee Waived
