Managing the Stress of Your Children During the Holidays
Steps for Tomorrow
- Make a routine book for things that will be out of routine before the break. Create the book together with the students and read it often in the weeks before the break.
- Be aware of your own emotional state and what you are bringing to the classroom
- Do something that builds classroom family that replicates your own home family
- Have open conversations about feelings that arrive during the time leading up to holiday breaks
- See the video below: You may want to seek the following times

Give yourself permission to celebrate being together again as a school family. Give yourself permission to practice skills in fun ways. Do not have big lesson plans, have fun bonding and relearning of routine items planned. You've got this!!
Focus on Math
Subitizing is the ability to “see” and recognize a small number of objects and know instantly how many there are without counting. Subitizing tells you what number you roll on a sixsided die—most adults no longer have to count the dots after playing board games for a while. It’s an important foundational skill for children’s development of number sense.
