*Parents:  Some of these ideas/activities are on social media, please use your judgement as to whether you want your child to access them.  Other ideas/activities are websites.  If links do not work, you should be able to easily search the title/organization.  ***Please note:  some of these links may not be available.  They were generously offered when schools went to distance learning (Spring 2020), but the organizations may choose to remove them at any time.  Some of the links that were once "live" can now be found through YouTube searches.
