Experience the best museums from London to Seoul in the comfort of your own home.

Going into a self-quarantine can have many complex issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you're in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet.

But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. According to Fast Company, Google Arts & Culture teamed up with over 2500 museums and galleries around the world to bring anyone and everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world..

Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch.

Google Arts & Culture's collection includes the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls.

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

European artworks from as far back as the 8th Century can be found in this California art museum. Take a Street View tour to discover a huge collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, manuscripts, and photographs.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 23 exhibit rooms filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Mayan civilization.

Sadly, not all popular art museums and galleries could be included on Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some museums are taking it upon themselves to offer online visits. According to Fast Company, the Louvre also offers virtual tours on its website.

Teachers can use Mindful Powers as a supplemental activity in their classroom. You can also use it in a small-group station and set the Focus Timer to give students a visual aid while they work. The overall feeling of having a creature to care for may draw in your more nurturing students, so consider having it be part of a rotating daily classroom "job" to care for the Flibbertigibbet. Meet with students one-on-one to build a relationship as they talk to you about their experiences. Teach a lesson on mindfulness and then use the Mindful Play section as an extension of whole-group learning. Use it as an incentive tool as all your students listen to the stories together, or as a transition activity after students return from recess. Finally, consider suggesting this as an app for parents to use at home.

Teachers can purchase the full version of Mindful Powers to listen to more stories, change settings, read articles on how to start mindfulness, and access the privacy policy and a FAQ. While the developers note that $4.99 is reflective of the content past the free trial, it appears that only about an hour of stories is included in the paid version.

Are you looking to enhance your classroom curriculum this year with innovative journal writing topics? It is easier than you think. Simply take some time to explore the exciting things to write about in a journal ideas outlined below. You'll be glad you did! 🙂

For many students in the classroom, journaling is their favorite time of the day. While students across all grade levels enjoy having a few moments of peace and quiet to collect their thoughts and express their creativity, they often do not know where or how to get started.

This is why it is important for teachers to have plenty of journal ideas available to help get those creative juices flowing. All too easily, a student is going to claim that they have "nothing" to write about and there is "nothing" new to say. However, teachers know that there are endless things to write about in a journal.

Teachers in every subject area will find that writing in a journal is an effective complement to their current curriculum. Daily writing is a practice that benefits students both personally and academically, and it gives students an outlet before they begin the lesson of the day. Sometimes, all it takes is just a gentle nudge and an excellent journal topic idea to get them to love the art of journaling.

51 Things to Write About in a Journal

The following writing ideas range from creative story starters to responses to current events and news articles. Through journaling, students can explore different styles of writing while also developing their own arguments and ideas.

More Writing Topics for Kids

Writers of all ages often need some help in the form of journaling prompts and ideas to help get them started. Young journal writers in particular often enjoy writing about fun, exciting, new prompts.

If you were in need of some fresh topics and ideas for your young writers, we hope you found some good ideas in this prompt list!

Whether your kids have written one journal entry or 100 journal entries, a journal practice can have a positive impact on their lives. Moreover, journaling has many positive benefits and is an excellent means of self-expression and self-discovery. So, get and keep your kids journaling on a regular basis this school year.

Until next time, may your students journal on...

Stave off the dreaded "I'm bored" syndrome that hits partway into any vacation or downtime with a few of the BEST simple STEM activities that cost almost next to nothing. We have many easy STEM challenges to get the juices flowing, and keep the kiddos thinking and learning. As always, we have plenty of STEM projects to get you through the year. Shhh, don't tell them!

EASY STEM PROJECTS FOR KIDS TO KEEP THEM BUSY!

EASY STEM CHALLENGES

So you ask, what does costing next to nothing look like for a simple STEM activity? What materials do I actually need to do fun STEM activities? If I don't know much about STEM, can we still do these activities?

Easy STEM activities can look like grabbing items from the pantry, recycling bin, junk drawer, and maybe a trip to the dollar store too. I always like to ensure I have a few basic supplies, as you will find in our MUST HAVE STEM SUPPLIES LIST (free bonus pack too).

WHAT IS STEM?

First, STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. STEM activities involving these fields have a huge impact on kids. Even the simplest STEM activities, like building the catapult I talk about below, provide numerous opportunities for kids to learn and explore STEM.

These STEM building activities might look like your kids are just playing, but they are doing much more. Look closely; you will see the engineering design process in motion. You will see experimenting and critical thinking in action and notice problem-solving at its finest. When kids play, they learn about the world around them!

STEM TEACHES LIFE SKILLS

These simple STEM activities for elementary to middle school work just as well in the classroom as they do for distance learning, homeschool groups, or screen-free time at home. Also perfect for library groups, scouting groups, and vacation camps.

I highly encourage you to get in on the fun if you can but hold back on providing the answers when things don't go as expected!
Read more on how STEM provides real-world skills!
Frustration and failure go hand in hand with success and perseverance. You can provide encouragement when things aren't working well and offer congratulations for a successful challenge completed. Younger kids may need more assistance, while older kids might choose to work independently.

It's always good to discuss the importance of failing with our kids. Some of our greatest inventors, like Darwin, Newton, Einstein, and Edison, failed and failed time again, only to make history later on. And why is that? Because they didn't give up.

STEM RESOURCES TO GET YOU STARTED

Here are a few resources that will help you introduce STEM more effectively to your kiddos or students and feel confident yourself when presenting materials. You'll find helpful free printables throughout.

10 SIMPLE STEM ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

So let's start with some of the best, simplest, and most fun STEM activities that will have your kids chanting your name and eagerly waiting for the next awesome idea.

Each of these easy STEM activities will provide you with a materials list or you can read about it under the descriptions below. The STEM supplies are pretty simple and you probably have most of it floating around the house.

1. Build a Catapult

Time to storm the castle with a homemade catapult that explores many parts of STEM and that is entirely playful. The kids will come back to this one over and over again. We have several popular versions of the homemade catapult, the best being made out of craft sticks and rubber bands.
POPSICLE STICK CATAPULT PENCIL CATAPULT MARSHMALLOW CATAPULT LEGO CATAPULT
2. Build a Balloon Rocket

Oh, the fun you can have with Sir Isaac Newton, a balloon, a straw, and some string. Explore Newton's Third Law of Motion when you make a balloon rocket. Have races, conduct experiments, and explore physics while you play.

Here's also our Christmas theme balloon rocket... Santa's Balloon Rocket

Alternatively, you can make a balloon car!

3. Build Structures

All you need is a box of toothpicks and a bag of mini marshmallows, gumdrops, or styrofoam peanuts. Turn it into a challenge to build a certain style of a bridge, a famous monument or simply an abstract creation. Or you can challenge the kids to build a tower 12″ tall (or any other height).

This has become one of our most popular tasks and we are hearing about all sorts of creative adaptations. Some youcubians have made grids of 400 and added dice, others have adapted it to let the grid represent 100%. Please post how you use this task with your students.

Task Instructions

This game is played in partners. Two children share a blank 100 grid.

The first partner rolls two number dice.

The numbers that come up are the numbers the child uses to make an array on the 100 grid.

They can put the array anywhere on the grid, but the goal is to fill up the grid to get it as full as possible.

After the player draws the array on the grid, she writes in the number sentence that describes the grid.

The second player then rolls the dice, draws the number grid and records their number sentence.

The game ends when both players have rolled the dice and cannot put any more arrays on the grid.

How close to 100 can you get?

Variation

Each child can have their own number grid. Play moves forward to see who can get closest to 100.
