We are dropping this episode a little early to help you get organised - What are some fun ways I can start the new school term on that first day after the holidays?
The first day back after a school break can be challenging for everyone – teachers and students! We are, more likely than not, in holiday mode. The first day is the perfect time to reconnect with your class, find out about their holidays, reestablish the expectations of learning/working habits, and have a bit of fun together.
In today’s episode, we brainstorm some ideas that have worked for us that you may like to use in your classroom too:
These are some favourites we have used in our classroom over the years. We hope your students enjoy them, too!
If you are finding Rainbow Skies for New Teachers helpful, we would love it you could share the pod with a teacher friend or two.
