Moving
Ahead with Distance Learning Days
I believe one of the best ways to help our children right now is
to maintain a schedule and some sense of routine. Repetition has been shown to help in
stressful situations. It limits the
amount of decision making we need throughout the day. If you didn’t have a schedule in place last
Monday, it’s okay, start today!
Let your children help make the schedule. Plan a few days in advance but make adjustments
along the way. Children love being able to have a choice and feeling that what they think matters.
Have an area set up in the house that is distraction-free, away
from the TV.
Incorporate movement and healthy snacks during the learning time
as well. No one learns when they’re
hungry!
Talk about what went right and what needs improvement at the end
of the “school” day. Do you need to add
more time to your math block? Do you
need more resources to help your child?
Debrief and adjust the plan for the next day of learning.
Know that you have teachers across the country who are an email
or direct message away, willing to help!
Stay healthy and keep going!
