We highly recommend that you also establish a routine for your younger ones. This routine should mirror your student’s* routine so that they can all have breaks together for play, lunch and snacks.
Please note, however, that your student’s* routine has one hour sessions. These sessions will be a stretch for your younger ones considering their capacity to keep at one thing for long periods of time. We advise that you chunk their school work in 20 - 30 minute blocks, with very short mini-breaks in between.
We have a handy collection of resources to help you create a school routine for your younger ones.
Please look at the links below. They will provide a variety of ideas that will certainly come in handy in the event that you need them.
Do you know your child’s learning style? Take some time to figure out what captures your child the most. This way, you will be able to keep him/her busy during lessons. Switch the activities so that you may establish the type of activities that keep them busy and learning concurrently.
Learning through play and movement is always a good idea, especially when the movement is away from your student* during their online session. Visit this website for ideas and worksheets that incorporate movement.
The Learning4Kids website describes itself as “a useful box where you can find lots of fun activities and play ideas to do with your children that will promote learning and development”
OxfordOwl has a free section on their website for parents. The activities and library can easily be navigated by age so you can find something for anyone at all ages.
Learning shapes is always important for young learners because it helps them to identify and organise visual information. This skill also lends itself in all other curriculum areas including reading, maths, science, etc.
