It’s the most wonderful time of the year! But for some students, it can also be the most stressful. All that excitement, the uneasy of what will happen at Christmas and the fear of unknown for some students. That’s why it’s important to keep doing work right up until Christmas. This will help to manage behaviours, keep learning going right up to Christmas and make sure everyone is on track for a successful holiday season! In this blog post, we will share some Christmas-themed math revision worksheets that are both fun and educational. Merry Christmas, everyone!

We all know the end of the year can be hectic. The pressure is on to complete reports, switch classrooms, get your family organised for all the Christmas parties and somewhow keep your class at school engaged. This is hard, when all they want to do is bounce off the walls!

Why It’s Important to Continue Classroom Routines
As the holidays approach, it’s easy to let classroom routines slide. After all, isn’t it time for a break? But the truth is that maintaining routines right up until Christmas can actually help reduce stress and anxiety for both students and teachers. Here’s why:
Classroom routines provide structure and stability during periods of change
When students know what to expect each day, they feel more secure and can focus on learning. On the other hand, when routines are lax or non-existent, students can feel lost and uncertain. This can lead to behavioral problems and a decrease in academic achievement.
So if you want your students to stay calm, focused, and motivated during the holiday season, stick to your regular routines as much as possible. That means continuing with daily math lessons, morning meeting, lunch and recess, and any other usual activities.
Of course, you can still incorporate some holiday fun into your routine! Just make sure that the majority of each day is devoted to academics. I will share some of my favourite activities at the bottom of this blogpost.
Managing Behaviours
The holidays can be a challenging time for managing student behaviours. There are more distractions, more opportunities for misbehaving, and more stress all around. Students are tired, teachers are tired and there is lots going on outside of school. But there are some simple things you can do to help manage behaviours during this hectic time of year.
Here are a few tips:
Don’t change your classroom routine
Keep teaching for as long as you can
If you can, keep running literacy groups for as long as you can
Continue to have clear expectations on what you want students to achieve
Don’t start Christmas activities too early
