I was reminded today how important the first day back from a long vacation can be. After two weeks off, many of my students came in today acting as though they forgot how to be a student.
I spent a good part of the day reviewing how to act appropriately in my classroom. From constantly asking my students to be quiet and to get ready for the next subject, today was quite the adventure. I am assuming that this will occur throughout the week, as well, as my students get back into the swing of things.
A lesson that I learned, and one that I'm passing along, is to set aside some time in the morning after a long vacation to review where the students' minds should be now that they are back in school.
