Abstract : This study explores the experiences of Grade 2 teachers in implementing effective classroom routines to manage their students’ behavior and foster an optimal learning environment. Classroom routines are essential in the early years of education, as they provide structure and predictability, which are crucial for young learners’ emotional and academic development. Through qualitative research, this study investigates the strategies and challenges faced by teachers in managing classroom routines, and how these routines influence student engagement, behavior, and overall classroom dynamics. Interviews with 12 Grade 2 teachers from various schools provide insights into their approaches, the obstacles they encounter, and the impact of these routines on student outcomes. The study contributes to understanding how effective classroom management techniques can enhance learning experiences for young students, offering practical implications for teacher training and educational practice.
