I know a number of folks on this site home school their kids. My kids are now out of school until April 20th and would love some advice/help from people who have experience. School district is hoping to do remote learning but who knows how/if that will work. My wife and I are working from home so trying to tag-team this a bit and would love some advice from folks experienced with it.
We pulled our kids from school on Thursday and basically made it a long weekend of it but have started a schedule for the day outlined below. We also purchased a bunch of work books from Amazon, etc. to get them started on Thursday night so we have some materials but that was just buying stuff at random at grade level. Also, any resources, etc. anyone is aware of I would appreciate it. I have twin girls who are 7 and a son who is 10. Though hope this can help with all age kids.
7 am wake up, breakfast, get dressed, make beds, etc.
8 am - 1 hour outdoor playtime. I know it is early but less folks out an about at that hour in a kids setting. We went for a family walk/scooter rides
9 am - 1 hour doing workbooks mentioned above (did math today)
10 am - Creative activity hour. We joined a lego challenge where we do new project everyday. Imagine this would change up and be art, etc. on different days
11 am - Reading/journal writing hour
noon - lunch for half hour
1230 - 1:30 pm - Household chores for about an hour
1:30 - 2:30 pm - Online learning hour. Our school has access to some online systems already to help in math/reading and having kids do that.
2:30 - 3:30 pm - Break/free activity time
3:30 - 4:30 pm - Homework (have left over homework type stuff having them do but will run out of that quick) but want to do one other stretch during day
4:30 to bed - regular home activities until bed, etc.
