 ANALYZE
Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following
questions.
1. Were the routines effectives in ensuring discipline and order in the class?
Why? Why not?
Yes, because these routines are consistently followed by students and
help keep the classroom organized. Without these daily routines, it would
be hard for the teacher to maintain discipline and order.

2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented?

Explain your answer?
Passing out papers, working in groups, turning in projects, asking
questions during lessons, taking part in classroom activities, lining up, and
checking attendance were all organized and regular routines used to
support the students' learning process.

REFLECT
Reflect on the various routines observed.
1. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why
not?
Here are some essential routines that every classroom should have:
passing out papers, working in pairs or groups, handing in and collecting
materials, turning in projects, asking questions during lessons, and
checking attendance. These routines are important because they help
keep the classroom organized and create a structured learning
environment. By having these routines in place, I can better manage
student behavior and ensure that everyone stays focused on their
learning. They also encourage students to participate actively and
collaborate with each other, which enhances their overall educational
experience.

proper places.

ANALYZE
1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstance led to the formulation of the
rule?
These rules were made to help keep the classroom running smoothly.
They will help the teacher get rid of unnecessary behaviors and bad
habits. These rules will also help the teacher create a positive and
supportive learning environment all day long.

2. Are classroom rules really important?

Classroom rules are set up to teach students how to behave properly and
safely, which helps improve their learning. Every teacher needs to ensure
their students are healthy and show them what activities are acceptable
and what are not. These rules are meant to guide students on how to act
in a proper and healthy way, which enhances their learning experience.
Every moment in school is important, and without rules, things can
become chaotic. This could lead to students hurting each other physically
or emotionally. Additionally, if students don’t learn how to behave
appropriately, they may struggle with social interactions as they get older.
 It's also important to note that one student's disruptive behavior can
interfere with another student's learning.

REFLECT
Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher. Will
you have the same rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain
your answer.
No, because teachers has their own rules they want to have in their class. In my
classroom, rules are essential to follow. If I were the teacher, I would have these
rules:
1. Arrive on time, and if you're late, say sorry to the teacher.
2. Avoid cheating at all costs, as it teaches bad behavior.
3. Pay close attention to the instructions given to you.
4. You should not criticize or dismiss your classmates' ideas; instead,
show them respect.
5. Don’t use smartphones, laptops, or other tech devices unless absolutely
necessary.
These are key rules that students should remember. They will help students
develop the right attitude they need to learn and grow positively.
