Many students in the United States are logging on to school remotely from kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms.
Recently, celebrities have taken to social media to reveal what their kids’ at-home classroom setups look like.
On August 26, “Big Little Lies” star Reese Witherspoon shared a photo on Instagram of herself and her 8-year-old son Tennessee at their home classroom.
“Online learning here we come!” she captioned the photo.
Witherspoon and her son are pictured using tablets at a wooden table with a jar of colored pencils, school supplies, and a book. Behind them, the area is decorated with a painted space-themed board.
"Raise Your Glass" singer Pink posted a photo on Instagram on September 1 of her 3-year-old son Jameson behind a laptop. She added a message of support to parents trying to navigate online learning, as well as teachers, who are doing everything this year to keep students engaged.
"Trying out this preschool thing remotely," the singer captioned the post. "My heart breaks for these kids, and my heart also goes out to every parent and teacher right now trying to figure it all out."
On August 23, Chrissy Teigen shared photos on Twitter of her at-home classroom, complete with a reading nook, cubbies, and dress-up corner.

Former "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" star Melissa Joan Hart posted Instagram photos on September 9 of her 8-year-old son Tucker on his first day of second grade.
"Well we started school this week on a hybrid schedule. And only one kid gave me permission to post his photo. Slide for his home work station which I am very proud of," Hart wrote in the caption.
Hart's son is pictured holding up a handwritten sign reading "1st day of school 2nd grade," and in another photo, sitting at a desk writing out numbers.
On September 8, former "The Office" star Jenna Fischer posted a photo on Instagram of her kids' remote learning station: a table with a laptop and a basket of school supplies.
In the caption, Fischer described the space as a "hot mess" and wrote that she wants people to know it's OK to not feel perfectly organized.
"In case you are like me and feeling like a mini failure because your home learning space looks like a hot mess...here you go!" she wrote in the caption.
"No judgment to the folks who have it all together. I love you. But just want to throw some love to those of us who look like this too," Fischer added.
While students around the US are taking classes online or in classrooms with social-distancing measures, parents and teachers are taking to social media to share tips on coping with the changes and helping kids learn and study in new ways.
Representatives for Reese Witherspoon, Pink, Chrissy Teigen, Melissa Joan Hart, and Jenna Fischer, respectively, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
