Spring Break is here, and students will not have school next week, Monday, March 26th - Friday, March 30th. If you are like me, you got really excited by the idea the first 30 seconds and then realized you will have your kids at home 24/7 and don't know how you will keep them away from their devices all day.
I invite you to read this article about Successfully Surviving Spring Break with some ideas about planning and engaging your kids in fun activities that are low cost and family oriented!
