Daily Schedule Part II

-
Here's a simple version of our schedule I posted earlier. Write or print it out and add pictures so your child can follow along! They will soon be telling you what comes next and taking ownership of their daily routine. And if the weather is nice, take meals and activities outside whenever you can! You'll see I've adjusted some of the times on ours already to make it work. No big deal! We may do it again as the week goes on and you will too.

Even better though, we could find out the answer with an experiment! "Sink of Float" was calling us.  I love this activity because while it's a really simple set-up, they are deep in a science lesson without realizing it.  SUPPLIES: -Varies toys and objects. Let them pick some out and then throw in a few extras like foil, a plastic utensil, and a rock.  -Large bowl or bin filled with water. -Paper and a marker. DRAW a large container on the paper and a line for the water. Write "float" above the water line and "sink" at the bottom.  PREDICT- H...

Daily Schedule for Little Ones

Take a breath. Take a moment to remember that you know your kids best. You know what they love, what they despise, and what makes them belly laugh. Don't get confused in all the panic. You are enough for your child or children.  But lets make it a little easier. Even though you know your children so well, day after day at home without school, playgrounds, libraries, museums, and playdates feels like too much.  One way to help give your kids balance and consistency at home is to have a daily schedule. This is especially important for children who are used to having this at school or daycare.
