Consistent and Visual Schedule:
It is beneficial for kids to have a consistent and visual schedule so that they know what to expect during these nontraditional days. Knowing what to expect can reduce feelings of anxiety and confusion and increase a sense of calm and normalcy in the coming days. Below is an example of schedules that you can create for your family. Base it on Van Arsdales’ learning schedule and don’t worry about what to do during the academic times, your teachers have that covered for you [posted in their google classroom].
