Holidays for children. Holidays in quarters. Why is the vacation period different in different schools

Vacation schedule in schools, universities and secondary institutions vocational education in Moscow are approved individually for each educational institution by its director, rector or other person responsible for making decisions. In practice, the vacation schedule rarely differs from the recommendations of a higher authority.

Russian schools live according to two educational "calendars": quarters and trimesters. Depending on this, as well as focusing on the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions themselves determine the dates of holidays. In general, it is beneficial for the school to adhere to the generally established framework, since general holidays mean more opportunities for organizing high-quality children's leisure: performances, excursions, concerts, etc.

Holidays in schools with a quarterly education system

Those who study in quarters have holidays four times a year - autumn, winter, spring and summer.

Fall break 2019-2020 academic year

Of these, the dates of the autumn holidays at the end of October and the beginning of November are less stable: the date of their end depends on the Day of National Unity, which is celebrated on November 4.

New Year holidays 2019-2020 academic year

New Year holidays, as a rule, begin from the last week of December and end on the 10th of January. Students go to school on Monday. Winter holidays in 2019/2020 academic year will be extended from December 31 to January 12. First-graders will also have additional vacations in the winter * - from 17 to 24 February.

Spring break 2019-2020 academic year

The situation with holidays in the spring is much simpler - the dates do not depend on the holidays. Spring break is in the last week of March and the first week of April. In 2020, schoolchildren will have a rest March 23 to March 31.

Summer holidays 2019-2020 academic year

Summer holidays start as usual - from 1 June to 1 September schoolchildren are waiting for three happy months free from lessons.

* For students of the first grades and classes of correctional and developmental education.

In addition to scheduled holidays, classes at the school may be canceled for the following reasons:

School holidays are always waiting not only for students, but also for their parents. For children, this is an opportunity to take a break between busy days of study, to focus on their interests and just have a good time. And for parents, school holidays are a time when you can take a break from help with your studies, as well as from the various tasks that educational institutions continually put before them. Such questions can include parent meetings, various events in which parents should participate and help, and more. Therefore, holidays are a period of rest for everyone.

The vacation schedule for the academic year is established for each educational institution individually, by order of the director or higher authorities. In fact, vacation periods rarely differ from those established by the Ministry of Education and those established within a particular educational institution.

The big ones died down new year holidays and with them the winter holidays ended. Closer to spring, the question arises of what date spring breaks begin at school 2016. After all, knowing what date to what spring breaks at school 2016 will help students concentrate on their studies and pull their tails in order to successfully complete the quarter. Yes, and it is useful for parents to know the specific dates of school holidays in order to plan their child's leisure time, as well as streamline their schedule at work so that the child does not remain alone at home, because not everyone is still ready to leave their child in their own care. In honor of the holidays, you can make a child.

School holidays schedule

When it comes to vacation dates, many people think that these dates are fixed and focus on them. However, strict rules for when to spend holidays during school year, No. The timing of the holidays constantly "float" in the calendar, and sometimes coincide with some large-scale events that are held in schools, for example, elections.

Dates of school holidays are fixed after they are approved by the director of the educational institution. At the legislative level, it is the principal of the school who reserves the right to make the final choice. But, the Ministry of Education always issues recommendations on when it is best to arrange holidays, and most often the head of the school follows them or focuses on the recommended dates.

Usually holidays in the spring fall on the last week of March. What date does spring start?
holidays at school 2016 in the Moscow region?

In 2016, spring break at the school will also take place in the last week of the first month of spring. Usually holidays during this period last from one week to 10 days. In 2016, spring break has 9 days, and will begin on March 28 and end on April 4. It is logical to start the holidays from the first day of the week, that is, from Monday, so that the student’s week is not broken into pieces with rest and pieces with study, because in this case the rest itself is not complete. If the holidays last a week, then the new academic quarter starts from Monday. But if the holidays last a little longer, then you will have to prepare for the fact that in the middle of the week you will have to start hard training. However, in 2016, such a sudden return in the middle of the week is not expected, because April 4 falls on a Monday.

However, this timetable applies to the Moscow region. And from what date are spring holidays at school 2016 in Voronezh? In 2016, the dates of school holidays in the Moscow region and in the city of Voronezh coincide. In Voronezh, spring holidays for schoolchildren will also begin on March 28, and will last for 9 days, until April 4.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that spring break is not the only opportunity for schoolchildren to relax before the last academic quarter, which is considered one of the most difficult due to the end of the school year and the upcoming exams for high school students. Before exams and finals control work students will be able to take a break during the May holidays. It will be possible to have a rest together with parents on May 1 and 2, and then three more days from May 7 to May 9 inclusive.

How to help your child adjust to school after the holidays

Often, during the holidays, the child is very relaxed and weaned from those loads that he used to receive at school. Therefore, even after a short spring break at school in 2016, which will begin on the 28th of March, it is difficult to join again in educational process. But the last academic quarter is decisive, which means that there is absolutely no time to idle, and you need to quickly join the educational process again.

The weather during this period is also relaxing. The first rays of the sun, the daylight hours are getting longer, the birds begin to sing, the first greenery appears on the trees, everything around beckons to spend more time outside. How can you focus your child's attention on learning? Therefore, many parents are concerned about the question of how to help the child adapt to school after the holidays. You should start small. Pay attention to which will help diversify the child's menu.

The school regime and schedule accustoms the child to discipline. During the holidays, of course, the daily routine changes, as there is an opportunity to sleep longer, and, accordingly, go to bed later. Because of this, the child gets off track. And that's why, the first point, why they don't like school so much after the holidays, it's because you have to wake up early, even if you didn't get enough sleep. How to solve this problem?

Parents should take care of the child's regime a couple of days before the end of the holidays. For example, start insisting that he go to bed 30 minutes earlier than on other vacation days. Accordingly, you should also wake up thirty minutes earlier. This will help the child to get up in the morning at school without much persuasion and difficulty. In this case, the main thing is to observe moderate severity. For example, if a TV show or a series or a movie ends later than the time when the child should go to bed, then you should persuade your child to stop watching TV and watch it the next day, when the program will be repeated during the day.

You can also replace watching TV before bed with reading or playing a board game together, for example. By the way, in this way you can kill two birds with one stone: and take the child before bed so that he goes to bed on time, and also teach him something if you choose an educational board game.

It is equally important for the child and how exactly he is woken up. The moment of awakening should evoke pleasant emotions. For example, you can choose his favorite song as the alarm melody. Or go into the room and say in a gentle whisper that it's time to get up and lure him into the kitchen, telling him what a delicious breakfast is waiting for him on the table.

Sleep is directly related to the daily routine. And also an integral part of how the child will feel in the daytime. Most children after the age of 7 no longer sleep during the day, but at the same time, they still need 11 hours of sleep at night. For children at the age of 10, 10 hours of sleep is enough, and for teenagers, for normal life, Have a good mood and well-being need 8 hours. Depending on these numbers, you should build a daily routine. According to statistics, those children who get enough sleep and follow the norms of hours of sleep have more success in their studies.

Success situation

In order for the child to have an incentive to study well, parents should create situations of success. For example, too high demands on the child's results in the first weeks of school after the holidays can provoke a kind of rejection of success in the child. Children should accept learning not as a way to receive rewards and praise from their parents, but as a way of learning about things and phenomena around them. And this is a priority. You should always be interested in the child not only in his grades, but what he likes to learn most of all, what he doesn’t like, what he gets easier, and what comes with difficulty. The child should feel that parents are primarily concerned about himself, and not about the numbers in the diary.

Walks in the open air

During spring break at school, children spend a lot of time outside, which is very good. Of course, when they return to school, this time is reduced due to their employment within the walls of the educational institution. But, it is important that every day the child spends at least 2 hours in the fresh air, because his activity and positive attitude also depend on this. You can not put a walk in the yard as a way to encourage a child. For example, you can not let him go outside only if he has completed the lessons. Let him take a walk for the two hours allotted to him, and then, with a fresh head, sit down for his homework.

Study skills

During the holidays, children often forget the skills they learned at school. For example, after the end of the holidays, their writing and reading speeds decrease, the multiplication table is forgotten. So that all this does not pile on him again during the beginning of his studies, you should train these skills during the holidays. It is enough to give from 30 minutes to an hour for elementary exercises during school holidays, so that it is a joy for the child, but at the same time does not burden his leisure.
You should always remember that holidays are given to children first of all for a good rest. How to make delicious
