Overview:

Just like children in a learning program, educators have a personal routine and schedule.

Think about your daily routine by reflecting on these questions:

• What do you do each day, and when do you do it?
• Which aspects of our schedule and routine are driven by you? Which aspects are driven by others (example: a job, family obligations, etc.)?
• How do you feel throughout your schedule? For example, when are you most at ease? Most rushed?

Instructions:

In your initial post:

• Describe one aspect of your daily routine and share how this aspect makes you feel and why.
• For example, you might describe your morning routine and share how this routine/schedule makes you feel.
• Next, share a schedule or routine that could have a similar emotional impact on children.
• For example, if your schedule's described aspect makes you feel rushed, describe a routine/schedule within the learning program that a child might experience that makes them feel rushed.

In your reply post:

• Reflect on the connection between the emotion and the routine.
• Identify one aspect of your peer’s routine and the child’s routine that you think might be triggering this emotion and how.
• Offer one possible suggestion to enhance or modify the routine.
