redmom3 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think it’s wonderful to see so many companies/programs offering “free” plans, steams, programs in lieu of the crisis. I don’t want to take advantage of them unfairly (like a school program when my kids already have their curriculum), but I believe there are some great opportunities being offered- such as virtual field trips, the opera being streamed nightly etc that we would be amiss not to use. I have been looking for a good exercise stream for awhile and now it seems some will offer a free two weeks! i like the look of Scholastic’s learn At Home being offered-as my 4th grader will miss out on co-op science now. please share anymore opportunities you see:) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yes, I only hope I get time to check some of these out. One thing I am enjoying is that my business partners believe that getting the kids and myself outside is important for our health right now (of course always, but they don't care about that). So we've been going out and not getting as much of a guilt trip "is all your work done through the end of the year" kind of thing. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting this, @DawnM! I know what I'm doing every evening this week. For those of you who might be looking for a good way to introduce opera to your kids, the performance that they are streaming on Friday, Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment, is excellent. (I own a DVD of this production.) This production is very funny. I won't give anything away, but there is a scene at the end that had my then-8-year-old son laughing his head off when he first saw it. Yes, the opera is from the 19th century and you have to expect 19th century gender expections that bother us now, but if you're okay with that, it's a great opera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
