Hello! My name is Christie and I’m a homeschooling mom to 3 kids, former elementary school teacher, and middle grade fiction writer. Over the years, I’ve curated an enormous collection of at-home educational resources. With school cancellations and many parents at home with their kids right now, I wanted to share what I know. This is a non-comprehensive list of resources I have used in my homeschool.

Remember, these are only ideas to use if you feel your family will benefit from them. You’re likely overwhelmed enough right now, and this isn’t meant to make things worse. Take what you need, leave the rest, and pass it on.
