ROUTINE AND DISCIPLINE(for young learners)

ROUTINE

BE ORGANIZED!Very young learners classrooms

need to be very organized.

ESTABLISH ROUTINESDivide your classroom into two areas: one for circle time and the other for table time.

HELPERChoose different students to help you during class time.

TEACHERExpect children to do what they are told, but be nice to them.

Even when you are feeling impatient.

CIRCLE TIMEPlay a song so they know the class is about to start and they should make a circle.

SURPRISE ACTIVITIES

Surprise activities can help settle a class in case the children get too excited. Try to use TPR or movements.
