Posted on 3 years ago

We all appreciate teachers, but if you have children at home and you are stressing over completing homework packets and other assignments on the computer, take a deep breath.  It’s going to be ok.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies and organizations began to roll out virtual opportunities for young and old alike to let their imaginations run wild.

For example, did you know…

The Cincinnati Zoo is offering free Safari Facebook Live sessions at 3 p.m. daily. During this session, the Zoo will feature an animal and provide an activity to do from home.  Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/cincinnatizoo 

The BalletNova Center for Dance, a studio in Falls Church, Virginia, is hosting virtual dance classes for all ages and abilities.  To learn more about the classes and schedule, please visit https://www.facebook.com/pg/BalletNovaCenterForDance/posts/?ref=page_internal
