Thank you! What a list. I went ahead and "bought" ABC Mouse for free for a month... I would suggest it. It keeps my kids busy.

Three additional resources:
1. ST Math (free) for math using visuals. My 3rd grader does not realize that he learning multiplication and division. Amazing. https://www.stmath.com/coronavirus
2. The Philadelphia Zoo has a live 15-minute show on its Facbook page with animals and a zoo keeper every week day at 2 pm EST. Yesterday, macaws were the stars. Wonder who will be the star of today's show.

3. Netflix has over 30 educational shows about animals. My son and I watched Monkey Planet yesterday. It was great. https://homeschoolhideout.com/educational-shows-on-netflix/
