Free Learning Resources for Military Kids
If 2020 showed us anything, it truly made us see how much more resilient our military kids are.
They took on deployments, TDYs, a pandemic and more all while getting their education virtually! How amazing!
Yes, we understand that the Pandemic threw a huge curveball our way. As Military service members we are used to rolling with the punches but even this time around taking care of our kid’s education was a learning experience for us all. Who knew math was so much harder to understand these days?
We know by now you have a routine; the kids have a better virtual learning schedule and teachers are doing an amazing job at keep you informed of any changes. However, there are plenty of wonderful learning resources out there especially for our Military kids and we wanted to share those with you.
