Sort my first two weeks back Β· $29 USD
The break is meant for resting. Not planning.
But somewhere between the last day and the first day back, the dread creeps in. The routines will have slipped, the class will need reconnecting, and someone has to plan all of that. (Spoiler: it's you.)
You'll be planning on your holidays.
The break you were meant to be resting in.
The routines will have slipped.
A couple of weeks off can undo a term of practice.
They'll need reconnecting first.
Before anyone's ready to learn a single thing.
And a "rules recap" won't cut it.
Nobody (you included) wants a Day 1 lecture.
What if the first two weeks back were already sorted? Routines reset, the class reconnected, and all of it fun enough that nobody notices it's a reset. Planned before the break even starts.
so you can actually switch off.

Brand new for 2026/2027. Here's what teachers say about my others.
The Hello 2027 Bundle is brand new for the 2026/2027 season, so its reviews are still rolling in. But it's built the same way as my Summer and Back to School bundles, and here's what teachers are saying about those.
So fun!!! Class loved.
I was waiting to write my review for this resource until I used it. Let me tell you, my grade 5/6 split class absolutely LOVED THIS. This was so great to use for those last weeks at the end of the school year.
DeLuca DesignsUltimate End of Year Bundle review
Great for Back to School
Haven't used everything in here but the things I did use were a hit! The one activity that we liked the best was the cootie catcher (I forget what it's called in this resource) but students loved making something and then having the opportunity to walk around and be active. Will use again!
