Recently, we created our classroom rules. Students came up with a lists of "No's" for school. The list included ideas like, "No running, No hitting, No interrupting, No throwing our books," and so on. The next day, we changed our rules to sound more positive - "Walking feet, Keep your hands to yourself, Raise your hand, and Hand books to each other" replaced all the negative sounding "NO'S!!". Then, we grouped the rules into 3 categories - rules about ourselves, rules about each other, and rules about our environment. We talked about how to make our rules more simple and easy for us to remember. Instead of having tons of rules, we ended up with 3.
We Take Care of Ourselves.
We Take Care of Each Other.
We Take Care of the Environment.
After discussing and creating our rules, students made a promise to follow the rules this school year. Our promise was made with us signing our hand prints.
Once all hand prints were signed, they were posted around the rules in the classroom as a reminder for us this school year! :)
