As moms, and I can certainly attest to this, we worry about keeping our kids healthy, educated & busy during these times. What is extremely helpful for our sanity and that of our families is sharing resources with one another online. Particularly with school closures, we can all use creative ideas right now. Today, Samantha Carrick of Literacy for Littles because she shares easy, non-stress, creative + accessible ways to teach literacy at home to kids of all ages! These include things like freezing toys in ice and removing them, using painters tape to create designs or roadways for cars around the house, sensory play bins, and turning food into literacy activities, to name a few!    Today we talk about:  Why we should be gentle on ourselves as moms during this tough time Why we don't have to run out and start an official homeschooling curriculum right away Being inside during a pandemic is stressful!
