FREE Virtual Field Trips, Story Time, Homeschool Resources

I’ve seen an extraordinary amount of things shared in my Facebook newsfeed and it got overwhelming and confusing real fast! I wanted to make a list of free virtual field trips, story time, homeschool resources, and other things that you can bookmark this page and refer back to as I update it the next few weeks.

**This post is CONSTANTLY (literally) getting updated and tweaked so make sure to refresh and keep checking back throughout the day! I also have TONS of activities you can find by using my search bar or nav bar categories! You can also scroll through crafts and printables!

If you’re looking for specific free programs to stay connected with students while trying to teach at a distance check here. I’ve also got a great post with financial tips for those preparing to become strapped on income in the near future.
