Hello Families,
We know that Structure and Routine Promote Positive Mental Health. Here are some Tips for Setting up a Daily Routine for Kids and Teens during the COVID-19 School Closures:
Try to keep bedtime and morning wake up times the same as a regular school day.
Refer to school websites to find out bell times and recess times (Preschool Schedule is below). Use these as a framework to plan your day.
For elementary aged children, co-create ideas for special projects in each subject (writing, art, math… don’t forget gym class!).
For teens, access any assignments and on-line learning modules from their school web platforms. Help teens to set up virtual study groups with classmates.
Encourage teens and older kids to ‘teach’ a virtual school lesson to younger kiddos (recycled science fair projects anyone?).
Look to the array of free online resources for virtual field trips, read-alongs, lesson plans, etc. Get creative.
Consistency is key!
