Abstract
Family Mathematics Nights and Family Literacy Nights are much-anticipated events in communities. These opportunities engage families with their child's learning in fun and interactive ways. Educators, both preservice and practicing teachers, connect with families in schools during the events to provide support. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person family events were not possible. Therefore, virtual family events were created, and the benefits were clear.
