About Classroom Routines
Four recurring routines, each with its own post: how to open class with a warm-up versus a hook, how to structure guided notes so students can follow along without you dictating every word, and what to leave behind for a sub day you didn't see coming.
Matching downloadable sets live in the resources library: Warm-Ups and Guided Notes. For the main lesson these routines wrap around, see the Lesson Planning cluster.
