Everyone Needs a Vacation





All of us enjoyed our time off. When it was time to go back to school, teachers were concerned about how they would get back into a working routine after two weeks of vacation and some parents were concerned about their children adapting again to school. I don't know if anyone asked the children in our class what they thought, or if they would have, could the children have answered.

Anyway, what have the past two days, the first days back, been like? The short answer is: great. The children have been so happy to see their friends again and to be able to play and interact with them. They have all been so mellow and relaxed. Not a single child cried the first day back. They just wanted to be with their friends in their room.

Lesson learned: Everyone benefits from a vacation, even three and four year olds.
