“Movement is life. It is in all we do on a daily basis…for children,
movement is also the natural learning medium. It is by which they explore the environment, learn how
it function and interact with it.”-Rosen, 1997

Through my experiences in teaching, I have realized that structure and routine play an important role in my daily schedule and students’ success.
Consistency! As children become more aware and used to the activities in their schedule then they may become exited (Anticipatory Reaction).
Toys used daily should always be placed in consistent areas.
