Inspiration for Learning at Home

Now that August has started, my mind shifts to back to school season. Our child will (hopefully) be in school for two days but learning at home for three days each week. I read a great post from Keri Lynn Snyder on distance learning. Here are my main takeaways: 

1. Get dressed and ready for each day
2. Set up a separate space for school work
3. Make it fun with bright colored decor, plenty of school supplies, etc (see above photo)
4. Create a daily checklist of tasks to complete (reading, writing & math will be our main priorities)
5. Have an end of school day ritual - ideally this will be a walk or bike ride outside
