## Keeping the Kids busy while you attend your online prep course
A Class session is 3 hours long -- that is a long time to focus your attention away from the kids so important reminders include:
- we do take a 15 min break halfway through. You can use this to check on the kids, and refocus them onto a new task.
- The virtual recording is automatically available in moodle after you complete your weekly activities. So if you are running late, get distracted, or need to leave early, its no problem just review the recording another time.
- Use headphones, but position yourself so you can keep an eyeball on the kids.
- Break this 3 hours into two 1.5 hour segments or 3 one hour segments.
This will depend on the age of the kids, so we can first ask what ages are your kids:
**Ideas for infants and toddlers:**
-Watch an educational or fun program
-Take a nap
-Coloring or playdough
-Have an older child in the household read them books and play with them (hire them to babysit)
-Listen to an Ebook - audible is offering free ebooks for kids: [https://www.audible.com/ep/kids-audiobooks](https://www.audible.com/ep/kids-audiobooks)
**Ideas for preschool age and up**
-Have them work on a school related project.
-Have them read a book and answer some questions about what they read
-Give them chores and incentives for completing those (clean your room, dust the furniture)
-Virtual museum visit, then answer some questions about it
-Free educational resources available through 5th grade on this site: [https://www.education.com/?fbclid=IwAR1xVoYpvP1S2odVXg3CRI\_X-2IuXmmujdmdbPh6Y9QWXlSW0M45n5dUnpI](https://www.education.com/?fbclid=IwAR1xVoYpvP1S2odVXg3CRI_X-2IuXmmujdmdbPh6Y9QWXlSW0M45n5dUnpI)
-Free educational resources available through grade 9 on this site: [https://www.scholastic.com/parents/school-success/home-learning-resources.html](https://www.scholastic.com/parents/school-success/home-learning-resources.html)
**Additional Ideas for middle school and older**
-Have them cook a meal, snack or dessert - follow a family recipe or create a new recipe
-Play outside in the yard
-Play a card game like solitaire, do a crossword, or another single player game -- or play a board game if they have siblings.
-Play an instrument, use free online tutorials
-creative writing project, journaling or writing a short story

\* Only the latest pass/fail result per course per customer is used. We use approximately the last 24 months of results in our calculation. Customer failed results are only counted as part of this calculation if the customer completed the course, which is defined as at least 85% attendance and 85% completion of assignments for that specific course. Results do not include college entrance or state license exams.
\*\* Achieve Test Prep is a college education consultant and test preparation center that helps you earn your degree faster. Achieve Test Prep is not a college and does not issue degrees or give college credit. The programs listed above and elsewhere on this website are test preparation programs offered by Achieve Test Prep to prepare you to take exams from an independent accredited college or an independent testing center. Achieve purposefully remains independent and does not align itself with any college nor do we commit to any agreements with any college. By being truly independent, we offer a non-biased approach to recommending the best possible college route to our customers. While Achieve Test Prep is very knowledgeable on the policies and procedures of many colleges, the final decisions about credits and degrees rest with the colleges. You must independently apply for and be accepted into a college.
