It is important during this time to keep kids on a routine each day, where they have a designated time to complete learning and enrichment. This will help provide comfort and structure, which is important for students both in and out of school. Below you will find a sample schedule that you can adopt, as well as some great brain breaks, and a Blank Weekly Student Schedule Template developed by one of the FLMS Teachers.

Here are some tips to help you support your child during distance learning:

• Establish routines and expectations. Balance screen time and non-screen time activities.

• Students should take brain breaks and move regularly as they study.

• Discuss what your child is learning and ask questions.

• Establish times for quiet and reflection.

• Remain mindful of your child’s stress.

• Make time for outside play
