By March, classroom routines are familiar, but often running on autopilot. This lesson helps teachers and students pause and reflect on which routines are still supporting learning and which need a thoughtful refresh. Instead of reteaching rules or correcting behavior, students are invited into shared problem-solving that reframes expectations as tools for learning. The result is renewed ownership, stronger self-regulation, and routines that work with students rather than against them during the mid-year stretch.
