What does the child's reaction in the observation suggest about classroom routines?

The reaction of the child in the observation indicates that there is a lack of a reward system for students who complete their work promptly. This suggests that the classroom environment may not incentivize timely completion of assignments, leading to the child feeling unrecognized for their efforts. Establishing a routine that rewards promptness can motivate students to finish their work quickly and engage them in a more positive manner.

In contrast, other options suggest routines that are either present or imply certain restrictions, which may not align with the child's reaction. For example, having a routine in place for students who need help or stating that students must work alone does not directly address the child's feelings about their own accomplishment. Similarly, the guideline for those finishing early not to interrupt isn’t relevant to the child's desire for recognition and reward for completing work on time.
