Classroom ru les

The classroom will have a set of no more than 8 rules and behavioralexpectations
posted. The rules will be stated in positive terms as "goal" behaviors. The rules will be
posted on a chart that is large enough for all to see. The rules will be written in words that
all can read and illustrated with pictures. At the beginning of the school year the students will
collaborate and construct the classroom rules. This collaborative process helps to make
students feel like they are part of the classroom community, and creates a sense of
ownership in the classroom rules so that cooperation is more likely. Additionally, it provides
opportunities to discuss the rationale behind the rules with students to promote
understanding of the values which rules are based on. The classroom rules that were
selected for the 2018-2019 schoolyear are: gentle touching, inside voices, listening ears,
walking feet, sit criss-cross, clean up centers, be kind, and sharing.
