Listen Later

As you head into your well-deserved winter break, it’s the perfect time to contemplate a plan for a smooth return to the classroom. In this episode, we’re bringing back one of our most-loved episodes from the archives: 5 Creative Ways to Reteach Classroom Routines in January. Whether your students need reminders on how to line up, transition between activities, or engage during independent reading, these fun and effective strategies will help you reset your classroom expectations without stress.

Returning from winter break can be a challenging transition for both teachers and students. After two weeks away, routines can feel like a distant memory, and classroom behavior might get a little “spicy.” That’s why taking time to reteach and reinforce your expectations is so important—and these strategies make it engaging, lighthearted, and manageable. You’ll hear how to involve your students in the process, make routines fun, and ensure the second half of the school year starts off strong.

So, whether you’re tuning in during the first days of break (I hope you’re relaxing!) or saving this episode to help you prep before heading back to school, this episode will give you a simple game plan for tackling routines and behaviors in January. Let’s jump into five creative and student-centered ways to refresh your classroom routines so you can head into the new year with confidence and calm.
