So we are at the close of our first week back since the Thanksgiving break and on a couple weeks away, at this point, will be Christmas break.  Do you ever notice how the classroom can be a little groggy when we are all back?  How do you overcome that?  Are there any activities to get people back on track?  I feel like once we begin to gain some momentum again, we will be off for another week.  How can you transition through an on again off again time of the school year?  Is everyone in the same boat or does anyone have any kind of a solution to working through the dilemma?
