This has been a tough week in the world. We wanted to let readers know that we will still be sharing interesting stories in your inbox regularly, and we look forward to connecting with you. In fact, if you’ve got a story about what’s going on with education in your neck of the woods, we’d love to hear it!
This week we were particularly inspired by the number of homeschooling curriculums, businesses, and online resources that have generously shared free education materials with anyone now learning at home. Here are some of our favorites. Please share this list with family and friends who might need a little creativity this week:
