Schulz was the only child of Dena and Carl Schulz. From birth, comics played an important role in Schulz's life. At just two days old, an uncle nicknamed him 'Sparky' after the horse Spark Plug from the Barney Google comic strip, and throughout his youth he and his father shared a Sunday morning ritual reading the funnies.

Schulz always knew he wanted to be a cartoonist and was very proud when Ripley's newspaper feature, Believe It or Not, published his drawing of the family dog in 1937. The Schulz family moved to Needles, Calif., in the summer of 1929, when Sparky was 6 years old; they only stayed there for about a year before returning to Minnesota. Schulz put his artistic ambitions on hold during World War II while serving as a machine-gun squad leader, though he regularly sketched episodes of daily army life in his sketchbook.

(This is one of a series of posts about reteaching everyday classroom routines, such as lining up or responding to the quiet signal.) Once you and your students have gotten classroom routines back under control, the key to keeping them crisp is paying attention!

This is what makes the effort you've put into teaching and practicing everyday skills pay off. It's unrealistic to expect children to maintain the standards you’ve set without support from you. Instead of waiting until things start slipping again, try some of these ideas: Keep routines center-stage. Use proactive reminders frequently. Collect data on tricky routines. Reinforce positives often with specific, clear language! Celebrate success. Repractice immediately and in a matter-of-fact way at the first sign of trouble. When I watch this, I notice how Caltha uses a genuinely calm, neutral tone to say, "Oops, looks like we need to practice.
