Today is a great time to follow @dps109 and #engage109 on Twitter. District 109 teachers and staff members are using Twitter today to share great learning links, tips and apps so parents can keep kids engaged, entertained, and learning while stuck at home in the polar vortex. Some staff members are posting links, others are posting recommendations for "old fashioned" learning, such as books and board games. 

Teachers have Tweeted ideas for hours of fun and learning, and parents are encouraged to share their own favorites.
