Keep following the regular school day as much as possible. Wake up at your normal time and eat breakfast. Start working between 8:30 and 9:00. (How else can you say 8:30?).
Salute each morning with Mr. Porowski, listen to morning announcements and a read aloud by following him on Twitter @CESprincipal.
Then, look at your Reading and Writing assignments. Try to work in half hour chunks and take short brain break as needed.
Brain break ideas=call a friend or family member, take a walk around the block, do jumping jacks, stretch, fold laundry, sing a song, take care of a pet, run in place, call a friend, do wall push ups

Stop for a quick, healthy snack around 10:30 (How else can you say 10:30?)
After snack, work on your math assignments followed by Social Studies/Science/Health
Once you are done with all your daily school work, do pleasure reading, listen to music, sing, have quality time with your family, cook, bake, help your parents around the house by folding laundry, doing dishes, cleaning your room, etc., play a board game or card game, draw, do a craft, go for a walk, take a bike ride...
Also, consider sending a card, picture, or letter to a resident at a nursing home that is no longer able to have visitors.
I'm sure it will lift their spirits.
