Top Tips for Remote Learning:
Establish a daily routine. Routines help in adjusting to new situations and writing down a daily schedule makes it easier to follow. Plan one out with your child and keep it in a place where everyone can see it.
Keep learning activities in a single place. Your child will still need to work with their school materials, assign a place where they can readily access the things the need.
Choose a learning space. Find a space where they can learn. A small table and comfortable chair (part of the kitchen table also works) will help your child focus on their tasks.
Move around even when completing online tasks. Children's brains need movement breaks. Stand up and move around in between tasks. A few minutes brain break to stretch between screen time will help your child learn more.
Make time for Play. Children learn many things through play. Besides incorporating this into subject tasks make sure your child also spends a couple of hours playing with toys. Incorporating this into set learning activities and projects is even better.
Use the outdoors, your garden is a wonderful place for your child to explore, learn and master new skills.
