For months now, we have gotten used to social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, regional quarantines and remote work situations. Also among these changes is the need for many schools to shift to virtual classrooms for the 2020 school year.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an apartment dweller who\u2019s trying to accommodate a student (or more than one) and create an environment for learning in a virtual classroom, you\u2019ve likely already seen that things can get tricky pretty quickly. To help you out in this quest, we\u2019ve put together a few suggestions for ways to make room for your children\u2019s educational needs on the homefront.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/homeschooling-designated-space.png\" alt=\"homeschooling designated area\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/homeschooling-designated-space.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/homeschooling-designated-space.png?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/homeschooling-designated-space.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/homeschooling-designated-space.png?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Designate a Specific Homeschooling Space<\/h2>\n<p>No matter what situation you\u2019re working with, the first thing that you need to do is find a space that can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devry.edu\/blog\/tips-for-homeschooling.html\">designated for school<\/a>. This is true whether you\u2019re living in a 5,000 square-foot farmhouse on 50 acres of land or a tiny one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n<p>That said, if you\u2019re in the apartment scenario, it can be challenging to find space that can be devoted to school. Fortunately, we\u2019re not talking about an entire room or even a portion of a room. Honestly, the top of a desk or a chair can be considered a designated space.<\/p>\n<p>The reason designating <em>something<\/em> to be a school space is important isn\u2019t because of the quality or availability of the space itself \u2014 it\u2019s because of the mentality that goes into thriving when schooling at home. If you want your kids to be able to focus on their school tasks, it\u2019s important that they work on them in an area that\u2019s not also used for entertainment or rest.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Space-Sensitive Equipment<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-space-homeschooling.png\" alt=\"space sensitive equipment\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-space-homeschooling.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-space-homeschooling.png?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-space-homeschooling.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-space-homeschooling.png?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve designated a room \u2014 or maybe more likely the corner of a room \u2014 for homeschooling, it\u2019s time to get your basic homeschooling equipment lined up. A few suggestions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A desk<\/strong>: This can be a run-of-the-mill desk, a utilitarian lab desk or even a simple table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A chair<\/strong>: Find a quality chair that your children can sit in for hours at a time \u2014 remember, just because your kids are resilient, it doesn\u2019t mean they should be uncomfortable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good lighting<\/strong>: A window, a lamp, an overhead light, however you do it, make sure you have plenty of brilliance filling your kids\u2019 educational space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: A bookshelf, a desk with drawers or even a repurposed school locker are all great ways to keep your child\u2019s school space organized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of setting up a school space. However, don\u2019t compromise on functionality simply because something seems like a better option. Oversized desks, stand-alone lampstands, and giant bookshelves are going to take up too much of your precious space before long.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, look for lean, efficient options as you shop, such as a hanging lamp, a desk with extra storage, and a chair that can be tucked under the desk.<\/p>\n<h2>Find Creative Activities Outside of School<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/extracurricular-projects-at-home.png\" alt=\"projects at home\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/extracurricular-projects-at-home.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/extracurricular-projects-at-home.png?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/extracurricular-projects-at-home.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/extracurricular-projects-at-home.png?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Along with setting up the space itself, it\u2019s important to plan opportunities for your child to get out of their school space and stretch their legs. Even if you have limited options outdoors, you can still find plenty of activities to <a href=\"https:\/\/arabellababy.com\/blogs\/product-new-and-parent-tips\/how-to-help-your-bored-children\">help your children when they&#8217;re bored<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building a<strong> fort<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Playing <strong>hide and seek<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Having a <strong>dance party<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Writing a <strong>letter to a loved one<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Making an<strong> art project<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having creative, non-school-related activities ready is wise, especially if you and your kid are working and schooling, respectively, in the same space day after day.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Panic About Screen Time<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109505\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-at-home.png\" alt=\"learning home space\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-at-home.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-at-home.png?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-at-home.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/learning-at-home.png?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, when it comes to homeschooling in an apartment \u2014 during a pandemic, no less \u2014 it\u2019s important to set realistic expectations. For instance, with social distancing blocking visits and playing outside likely restricted, you\u2019ll need to be able to stay busy inside.<\/p>\n<p>This naturally means you\u2019re going to have more screen time than usual during these unprecedented events \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/expert-interviews\/expert-interview-keeping-kids-happy-in-quarantine\/\"><em>and that\u2019s okay<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than accepting the inevitable and leaving cartoons on all day, though, you can still find more constructive alternatives to Netflix or Cartoon Network. For instance, there are several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartmentliving\/lifestyle\/resources-screen-time-kids\/\">homeschool-focused apps<\/a> \u2014 like BrainPop, Reading Eggs and Epic! \u2014 that can provide your children with engaging videos, games, quizzes and suggested reading. Using one of these can be much more productive than leaving Paw Patrol on for five hours a day while you work.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding Success When Homeschooling in an Apartment<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/school-from-home.png\" alt=\"homeschooling\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/school-from-home.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/school-from-home.png?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/school-from-home.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/10\/school-from-home.png?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Homeschooling a child during a pandemic in an apartment is a tall order \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t have to be an impossible one.
