PreK-12 Resources for Emergency Closings
As teachers, students, and families deal with school closures, PBS LearningMedia producers and educators have come together to curate a special collection of resources organized by grade and subject area. Find videos, lesson plans, and activities that support learning at home. Create a free account to save and organize content.
Featured lesson plans in this collection contain full contextualization for the media they include. Plan and adapt our lessons in creative ways, using the Lesson Builder tool, Google Classroom, Remind, and more.
For early educators, we’ve assembled packets of printable activities to download and share with parents and students. Check out our PreK-K packet, and Grades 1-2 packets.
Jewish Family Services of Delaware responds to the COVID-19 pandemic with new service offering JFS OnCall:
JFS OnCall is a free, confidential emotional support hotline available to our community. In addition to our telehealth and other remote services, we felt strongly that it is our responsibility to be available to anyone - some people just need someone to talk to and our social workers are eager to support people in every way we can. To be clear, this is not a crisis response line, but just a number to call to express worries, be heard, and gain support. The number is 302-781-4537 (4JFS) and the line will be open Monday through Friday, 9am to 9pm.
