After the Task Reflection

The classroom routine was quite effective; the students know what theyre expected from at the
beginning of the year. This routine will affect the class in a positive way, for example: have smooth
transitions throughout the day. It will teach the students about being organized and taking
responsibility, sharing, cleaning after the task, and helping the teacher/students.

After the Task Reflection

I would use some of these practices, but I would also have my own teaching style. If I happened to use them, I would change it up in a creative
way depending on my classrooms theme. As I mentioned above, these practices teaches the students about being organized and taking
responsibility. Also, they develop heir social and communication skills, they learn to share, care, and be understanding of one another.
