With only having two or three months of instruction left for the traditional school year, it is ok to do some delight-driven learning only. That means you find out what your children are interested in and then you help them investigate that topic. You can help them do more than passively consume info by doing projects. Learning about pioneer times? Make a "covered wagon" in the living room. Interested in counting and sorting? Haul out the Legos and start putting them into piles by shape or color. How many are there? You get the idea.Homeschoolers have long loved reading aloud as a means to learning and bonding. This is great for all ages and really builds vocabulary in younger learners because you can stop and explain what that last sentence meant. If you would all like to listen, Audible has made a number of stories free to listen to right now: https://stories.audible.com/start-listen
