We are pretty lucky here at Chili. Supervisor Dunning wants us to stay safe and healthy during this time so he sent us all home. I'm very happy to be stuck at home with my 10 year old daughter and 14 year old son ...

I also know that I need to do things or I will go stir crazy. So ...
Every day I will post a video of me reading a book that I checked out at the library. Also, if I find any cool things that you can use to teach/entertain your own kids, I will do that too. I know that we need to distance ourselves from each other during this time, but I also know that little ones need something regular and consistent in their lives as well. So I will try and post at 10 am every day, which is the same time that we would have done storytime on Mondays and Thursdays. I will try and do it everyday though. I will also have Miss Jill, Miss Valerie and Miss Wendy post stories as well.
It's scary. I know. I'm scared too. But we need to make the best of it. I'm trying to think of it as an adventure. An adventure where I am trapped in my house. :)
Here are a couple of things that I have found to get your kids brains working:
Scholastic is offering free online courses.
This is an Google Doc that has a list of educational companies that are offering free services.
Of course we also have Overdrive/Libby that you can use to read books on your Kindle, tablet, Chromebook or whatever else you have.
Questions, thoughts, ideas? Just post a comment! I'd love to hear because I know I'm going to miss you all.
BTW, my husband just got home with EGGS! WOO-HOO!
