Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to consider how and what children learned during the time spent at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants in this chapter live in a mid-sized town in the southeastern United States and come from mostly low-income backgrounds. The information in this chapter comes from one-on-one interviews with parents and grandparents of school-aged children who experienced some amount of time where school was exclusively virtual. Results show that children learned diverse and unique things during this time at home. Implications include ways for teachers and parents to build off of this unique time to further strengthen the learning that now occurs back in the more traditional classroom setting.
