While we are not yet prepared to roll-out school work for children to complete at home, we still wanted to share ideas on how to manage the Coronavirus school shutdown with your children.
A daily schedule can be an important tool to help you get through the Coronavirus (COVID-19) school shutdown. A schedule gives children a sense of stability, comfort and establishes healthy habits. If you are currently working from home, as many families are, a schedule also helps you manage the demands of work and the demands of your children’s attention as well.
Math, reading, art, puzzles, activities are all essential for a growing child. Make sure that every day helps you child to learn and grow!
Here’s a fun idea for Creative Time:
Mo Willems invites YOU into his studio every day for his LUNCH DOODLE. Learners worldwide can draw, doodle and explore new ways of writing by visiting Mo’s studio virtually once a day for the next few weeks. Grab some paper and pencils, pens, or crayons and join Mo to explore ways of writing and making together

Please note that the schedule above is shared as example of what a family might include. We encourage families to develop a schedule that best meet their needs.
