Those behaviors were immediately visible as soon as I entered the room for the first time. When I entered the classroom, every student was sitting in a circle with their legs crossed and hands on their laps. During these circle, the teacher does a starter activity where the students have to answer questions, either about matching shapes or count until a certain number. Then the teacher would call a student to the front, normally the best-behaved one, and would ask them to organize the calendar, by saying which day it was, what month and the weather. All these activities were motioned by symbols. Whenever the teacher showed a picture of a kid sitting cross-legged, the kids would immediately know this was a symbol that they had to go to the middle of the room and sit cross-legged. When one of the students uncrossed his legs, the teacher made a signal with their hand that showed the kid that was misbehaving. As soon as the kid saw this sign, he hurried up and crossed his legs again, giving the teacher a cheeky smile. This was just one of the many symbols the teachers
