There are a few routines that matter a lot when it comes to a positive classroom community. It's so important to practice and instill those routines at the start of the year. These routines will differ from classroom to classroom, but a few that matter a lot include the following:
Sign-In
Morning Work
Clean-Up
Stack and Pack
Transition Time
I'll continue to reflect on this list in the last few weeks of the year as I think ahead to next year. I'm sure I'll add a few more items over the summer as well.
