A Special Note to Schools – Please feel free to share this communication with your parents and students.
With each passing day, we continue to hear from teachers and parents looking for resources and guidance to address students’ educational needs at home. Although we offer many instructional materials for free download, many parents have asked if they can purchase print materials, or if there are other resources available. The answer to both questions is YES!
Recognizing that parents are often not formally trained teachers, we compiled materials lists, at each grade-level, which link to resources that we believe may be adapted for use at home.
What Materials Do We Recommend for Use at Home by Parents?
