At-home learning #31



Wow. This is our 31st "at-home learning." Who would have thought a month ago that we'd still be posting daily about how to keep the brain chugging along while definitely getting a little tired of our own four walls? We hope your spirits aren't sagging and that you're finding your own new ways to learn and stay entertained while we slog through quarantine. Let us know if we can help you.

Do some art
* Folks are continuing to re-create famous art works at home and post them to social media. But you don't have to be on those sites to see their creations:

* Some UK artists have come together to create a downloadable activity book. It's aimed mostly at children, but so what? We're kids at heart, yes?
