This year Back to School is almost like how it was before: full attendance, some extracurricular activities, and a lot of hope. Like every September, families, teachers, and children face these first days with a combination of nerves and expectations as well as a course full of learning and adventure. 

To make this start as easy as possible, here at Smile and Learn, we have come up with a list of tips:

• Learn but also have fun: It is important to approach the learning process as something interesting and entertaining, this will help maintain the interest and attention of the students.
• Communication: a channel of communication that is always open between teachers and children is necessary for the well-being of everyone in the classroom. Trust is important, it will make the children feel better.
• Patience: It is good to think about how these days of change are difficult for everyone. A little extra patience won’t hurt!
• Positive Attitude: Everyone starts out enthusiastic but it dissipates as the course progresses. Try to maintain this attitude the first few days, your students will thank you.
• Motivation: It is essential to maintain attention throughout the course. Rely on materials and games that make the process easier.
