The added benefit is that you're modeling priorities when you put your phone away to be attentive to what (who) matters most. Children are always watching and they'll see and learn from your good example. Good cuing!
Yes! We don't really separate out any particular parts of our day as school but my heuristic is that if my kids are doing something that requires significant effort it will go much better if I'm doing hard work alongside them. Particularly when we're doing our daily spaced repitition work I try to make sure I have my boogie board and not my phone and solve the math problems and write the spelling words and name the countries and birds and whatnot along with them.
