Strategies for transitioning back to school and classroom routines

Various resources and rituals are suggested to assist students and educators during the transition back to school and following winter breaks.

For classroom settings, low-prep activities are recommended to help students reconnect with learning routines. These include games like ‘Roll a Story’ and ‘Roll a Monster’, coloring activities such as ‘Color by Code’, and using calendar templates to discuss upcoming holidays and birthdays.

To support personal wellbeing and mental focus, herbal practices are suggested. These include using matcha and lemon balm for cognitive support, utilizing aromatherapy with rosemary or lavender for mental clarity, and implementing grounding breaks or herbal foot soaks to maintain balance and soothe fatigue.
