The Back from Break Struggles
 
Episode Summary
The 'Back from Holiday Break' struggles are REAL - am I right?
To be honest I kinda dread it each year. Am I super excited to see those faces I've missed over break?  Yes.  Do I want to go back and have to re-teach procedures and expectations? No, not particularly.  
But....truth is, after several weeks off from school, sometimes our little learners forget expectations and rules.  They have been out of practice and therefore need some reminders.
Topics Discussed:
