      • Is any routine better? Why or why not? 
      • How do routines help us with being successful in school? 
      • What if you changed a routine you already have, would that make you feel a certain way? Would it be better?
      • What are some different routines we’d like to add to our day to help us be more successful?

    Differentiation:
