It's hard to believe it's been just one month since the coronavirus shut down schools and most non-essential businesses in NYC, but here we are, and the news, if anything, keeps getting worse for city families. Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled his executive budget Thursday morning, bringing with it severe cuts to city mainstays, including the closure of city pools for the summer and the elimination of the Parks Department's affordable summer camp. Beaches are also unlikely to open. The City Council must approve the budget before it takes effect.

Read on for more details on these coronavirus cuts, the new mask mandate, and an extension of NY on PAUSE.

The long-awaited Legoland New York Resort is the latest casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. The resort, located in Goshen, New York, 60 miles north of New York City, announced Tuesday its opening date has been delayed to summer 2021. It was previously scheduled to open on July 4, 2020. An exact date has yet to be announced, but for now, consider all those plans to peruse Miniland or meet Master Builders to be on hold.

The resort said its decision came after consultation with the CDC.

We were about half a day into the great pandemic-induced homeschool experiment of 2020 when I lost my cool for the first time. With a full-time work schedule for my husband and myself, plus three kids to teach, how exactly were we going to manage?

I worried about workspace, bandwidth (both our Wi-Fi connection and my own), and common core math problems. And then, I decided to sort of... give up. Sure, we'll do our best to keep up with the schoolwork of three kids in two schools in three vastly different stages of their educational journeys, but we'll also focus on some good, old-fashioned life skills.

Day 1 found me schooling my son on how to make his teen-diet staple, ramen noodles, and a home ec class full of chocolate chip cookies for my younger daughters. I mostly stayed back, and let my girls do the measuring and mixing that I typically like to micromanage. On Day 2 we sewed up the holes in some favorite stuffed animals. By Day 3, my youngest was eagerly awaiting the day's lesson, and that inspired me to reach out to colleagues and friends to put together this list of life skills. Of course, most of these essential skills are worth teaching kids at any time but it feels apt during this forced slowdown. Without further ado, 65 real-life lessons to teach your kids.

If you're looking for more at-home and indoor Boredom Busters, we have plenty to recommend, including science experiments and crafts.

The first day of spring is usually filled with sunshine and plans for a care-free spring break, but this year things are shaping up quite differently. Much of NYC is closed thanks to the coronavirus shutdown, the Department of Education is shifting to a long-distance learning plan, and our event calendar has more virtual events than in-person ones to support the new norm of social distancing.

The rules of daily life are constantly changing, with Governor Andrew Cuomo announcing ever-tightening restrictions Friday afternoon. Individuals can go outside to collect essential supplies, like groceries and medicine, or for solitary, non-contact recreation, and must maintain a safe social distance of 6 feet.

But, no shelter-in-place order has been given, so if you need to get out with the kids, we've rounded up seven ways to do it safely during the coronavirus shutdown.
