how can you explain Spring Break without a Melt down

This is what worked for us, We just out right told Paul that it was spring Break and had him look out the window to show that there were no buses running each day. When he asked why we said because its spring break eventually without mentioning the word school to him we get though the day without any Meltdowns from about noon on its a normal day for him but the Morning can be rough if you do not choose your words wisely unless you want to have a Melt down.
