Learning at Home Ideas & Resources
I hope you find this list to be helpful for your use over Spring Break and for the rest of the school year! This list is certainly not meant to be something you have to do every single day, but rather a list of resources you can pick & choose to work on while at home. This is also separate from the assigned work students will receive for E-learning. Enjoy!

Tips for Parents
This list of tips is a suggestion for helping provide similar structure at home to what students would experience in school as well as just to help you out. I hope you find it helpful!
-
Learn when your child’s best “focus time” is. Many children function best in the morning. We know that your job obligations may restrict the hours when you are available to help your child - but perhaps there are things that he/she can complete with minimal assistance from you during “focus time.”
-
Allow for frequent breaks. If your child seems frustrated or is getting antsy, set a timer for 5-10 minutes and allow them to choose another activity before returning to their work.
-
Verbally tell and/or list out the assignments your child must complete in a day. A list where they can check things off can be very helpful.
-
Allow your child to plan a fun activity to do after assignments are finished.
-
Grant yourself grace! :) This is a difficult and unexpected situation, and we certainly understand that.
Schedule

Here is an example of a daily schedule:
