All new to working fulltime while trying to educate a third-grade Spanish dual immersion student simultaneously. ‘They’ suggest a schedule with 20-30 minutes per activity unless kids want to extend them. Otherwise, there’s happily been a barrage of information, but it was overwhelming having it in so many places, so I’ve organized what I’ve received here to help myself and Elsa navigate these times. Please feel free to use, share, or reach out to help us expand our page.
PS – We have not thoroughly visited each of these sites, but they come from trusted resources. As time goes on, we’ll highlight our favorites and eliminate paid options to keep it free in these trying times. Stay tuned.
