Getting into the routine

Routines are an essential part of life for children. Even adults need to know what's coming... yet I always forget how...frustrating it can be when the students don't catch on right away! I am so used to my last class knowing exactly what to do and when...

Monday morning, every student walked in and got right to work. It was calm, and even quiet. I had to step back and realize that now, after 3 weeks, maybe they are getting the routine. Yes, still many weeks of practice lie ahead, but they at least know what to expect now. And I can remind them of what I expect.

Phew.

That's my revelation for the day :)
