My ritual and routine is taking down my chair in the morning.  To me it seems like a routine because it is so natural to remember to do it right after you come in the door and put your backpack away.  You immediately know to take down your chair.  A tip to do this routine well is to make sure that you take it down carefully.  You see, if you don't, you might squish your toes and that wouldn't be pretty.  Another hint for doing this routine well is to go behind the chair when taking it down to make sure that you still don't pinch your toes under your chair.  A trick for doing this well is to make sure you push your chair in afterwards so that Mr. Solarz doesn't push in any chairs that day and so that we get positives on the checklist.
This routine is important because if it wasn't done well or done at all we would have to sit on top of the desk, on top of the chair, and that would be uncomfortable.  If it wasn't done well then the chair might be halfway unstacked and that would be uncomfortable to sit on too.
This routine makes our class a student-lead classroom because if we didn't do this job then Mr. Solarz would have to unstack each and everyone of our chairs.  That would be a complete wast of time because Mr. Solarz has much better things to do than unstack the whole classes chairs when we could just be a student-lead classroom and unstack our own chairs.

PARCC set up and gathering your supplies is an important routine/ritual becuase we have PARCC 7 times in the whole year so everyone in the class has to move their desks a certain way so that no one can look at anyone else's paper. PARCC set up is something we have to do so that we are all prepared and ready for PARCC testing.   PARCC set up is when you take all of the desk and scatter them around the room then you move the tables back closer to the white board.  When the students gather their supplies you go up to the center tables and you grab a ruler, protractor, scratch paper, a pencil, and a mint.  This year Math PARCC was in the beginning of the day for fifth graders so I would suggest having multiple people go to homework club to start moving around the room in order to be prepared and on time for testing.  Also, Reading was in the afternoon so I would try to make sure that we are quiet in the recess line so that our class could get in first to be prepared for PARCC. 
This ritual is extremely important because if we did not do this the testing area would not be good for students.  Students would be too close to each other and would be able to see each others answers and they may get distracted by each other.  If we did not prepare the classroom and get the supplies that we need we would not do very well on the PARCC test.  Having the students gather the supplies in one place works really well to make sure that every student has what they need for testing.
