Schools are closed and your kids are stuck at home… This is a nightmare. In fact, being trapped in your house with your family is basically asking for The Shining.

Before you get redrum on your mind, here's some good news: Scholastic has stepped up to help out!

"Even when schools are closed, you can keep the learning going with these special cross-curricular journeys. Every day includes four separate learning experiences, each built around a thrilling, meaningful story or video. Kids can do them on their own, with their families, or with their teachers. Just find your grade level and let the learning begin!"

Keep students academically active with 20 days of meaningful learning journeys

I'm making pre-tied bowties (I ordered hardware!) and hairbows to match!

Isn't this ET fabric terrible? Like, it's so bad it comes around the other side and is good again!

The three groups that know the most about dinosaurs are:
-5 year-olds
