The weather outside is frightful.... but our minds are so delightful.... and since we've no place to go.... let us learn, let us learn, let us learn!
Learning doesn't have to stop just because the weather is bad! Here are some ideas to continue exercising your brains while at home. We encourage you to participate with your parents, siblings, and friends!
