Two
weeks away from school means late nights watching TV, long hours of gaming,
sleeping in, and maybe even daily naps. Many of our students will return from
break with very different routines—so it’s important to reteach your behavioral
expectations when they come back. You don’t need to spend weeks
reestablishing your classroom norms but dedicating a few days to resetting
routines will help students transition smoothly back to school.
At
the start of the school year, students created a social contract. Revisit it
with them and ask what they expect their classmates to continue doing in the
new year. Allow students to lead these conversations, restating what they all
expect now that they’ve been together for the past 4 months learning together.
