Getting Into The Swing Of The New School Year
Adapted from: Help Your Students Adjust to School after a Long Holiday
For many students, returning to school from the long summer break is not an easy transition. Staying up late, sleeping in, unstructured time, family stresses, or travel can all make it hard for students to return to school ready to work productively. They may be tired, cranky, and just not as cooperative as usual because their normal schedules have been disrupted.
I know you're asking yourself where on earth did the summer go? School can't be starting yet. I'm so not ready!
Has the end of summer caught you unaware? Do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking of all the things you still have to do to get ready for the first days of the new school year? Are you having trouble finding the resources you need to check off on your back-to-school 'to do' list? Don't panic! There's help for you.
