The New Haven Public Schools are providing packets for kids to do school work from home.  But that may still leave a lot of time in the day when we kids can be doing fun learning activities.  Here are some options:

​

• If your child is in LEAP and needs some help with their homework, do not hesitate to contact their counselors or site coordinator via phone or email.  Site coordinators can be emailed through the About/Staff section of this website.

​

• Scholastic offers activities for children from pre-K through grades 6 and up.  

​

• The American Federation of Teachers has a wealth of resources to help with learning at home from Pre-K through high school. They also have materials on social-emotional learning and an online discussion community for people to share ideas, lesson plans, and resources. This is a resource that is useful for educators and community youth workers. 

​

• The New Haven Free Public Library has a wonderful list of free activities, including many that do not require a library card.

​

• The State Department of Education and educational consultants in English, Social Studies, Science and Math have gathered resources for families to support their children’s learning. These resources and materials are broken down by grade level (Pre-K through 12th grade).

​

• Khan Academy has a variety of rich educational resources and video lessons that parents, teachers, and students can use to structure each day of learning in core subjects and offer introductions to new topics not typically taught in school.
