Helping your child to create an at-home school environment can be challenging, however, it is not impossible. Below are some tips and resources for creating an at-home school schedule and environment.
Juggling Zoom Schedules
Set alarms on a phone or computer
Encourage
Organization
Make a relaxed schedule.
Decide on expectations: is wearing PJs all day ok, or will everyone get dressed in school clothes in the morning?
Will everyone sleep in until noon, or be up and ready at 8?
Make time for cleaning up toys and school messes before bed.
Fun time
Make it clear that electronics are only for school work (or active games) and playtime is electronics-free.
Take 5-minute "brain breaks" (short dance breaks, stretching, or do some exercises) after every 30 minutes of learning.
Let kids be bored.
Learning
Read - Scholastic is offering free books and reading comprehension activities to encourage learning.
If your child isn't understanding a concept, try introducing it in a different format such as seeing the activity done, listening to how to do the activity, or engaging in the activity.
Keep learning interesting. Do experiments, and explore topics and hobbies that interest your kid(s).
