Online Tools and Resources for Children and Parents

The Rolla Public Library has loads of resources available for all ages. Including Learn at Home, a free resource that provides all students with 20* days’ worth of learning journeys that span the content areas so you can keep your students academically active while their school buildings are closed.

The site supports students with approximately three hours of learning opportunities per day, including projects, articles and stories, virtual field trips, reading and geography challenges, and more. These daily learning opportunities were carefully curated by our editors to reduce the burden on teachers and families needing to create meaningful learning experiences.

We have also heard that many students are worried about the new coronavirus. Scholastic has created Teaching Our World: The Coronavirus  to help you ease their fears and empower them with age-appropriate information. These teaching resources were carefully prepared by grade-level to help your students understand what is being done to keep them safe and how to prevent germs from spreading.
