When students come back to school after a nice break, the are often reluctant to enter back into the normal routine and may be more disruptive at first. They may have been out of town or otherwise unable to talk to their friends and will want to catch up on what everyone did, causing a lot of talking in class.
One great way to handle this behavior issue after a break from school is to designate the first half hour or so of class time for catching up. The teacher can start by sharing what she did over break and then ask if any other students would like to share as well. After a time of sharing, the teacher should then explain to the children that they can continue to share and catch up with their friends during lunch and recess time.
