As children are being educated at home, there are many changes in their daily routines – and ours, as parents. We find ourselves being the professionals and spending a lot of time supporting our children with academics and keeping them active, busy, and happy. This is quite a bit to juggle and it can be hard to keep all those balls in the air!
One thing that our children may be missing out on while learning at home is regular physical activity and possibly a formal physical education curriculum. This need not be the case with FLVS!
Children are accustomed to having freedom to run and play at recess and many are involved in extra–curricular sports and athletics. With limited ability for interaction outside due to the pandemic, many of our children are missing out on those outlets for physical activity that used to be part of each day. We can see the adverse effects on our children missing that free time on the playground or camaraderie with their sports teams.
