NEW YORK - Scholastic has created a free digital learning hub to support virtual learning as schools are closed due to the spread of corona virus.
"As more and more teachers, students, and families around the world are affected by the coronavirus, our priority is to support them in the best way we know howby providing them with rich stories and meaningful projects that will keep kids academically active," said Lauren Tarshis, publisher of Scholastic Classroom Magazines. "We designed Scholastic Learn At Home knowing that administrators and teachers need to create extensive virtual learning plans, quickly, and that students need uplifting and engaging experiences. Our hope is that even though daily routines are being disrupted and students may not have valuable time in school with their educators, together we can support meaningful learning at home while it is necessary."
The program provides approximately three hours of learning opportunities per day, for up to four weeks of instruction, including writing and research projects based on nonfiction articles and stories, virtual field trips, reading and geography challenges, access to our new digital community for kids Scholastic Home Base, and more. Teachers can also plan virtual learning meetups to discuss and expand on any of the resources found on the site.
The digital hub will remain free and open indefinitely.
